YOU ONLY GET ONE MBA.
Getting a top-ranked online MBA will benefit you the most, both now and when you graduate. MBA rankings aren't just based on numbers and statistics; they're also based on real student experiences. We created this guide with that in mind and included real student responses from Princeton Review's program survey. Here are five ways a top-ranked MBA can benefit you:
TOP-RANKED FACULTY
As a top-ranked school, we attract top-ranked faculty. As an MBA Online student at the Eccles School, you will have the opportunity to share the same "phenomenal" and "supportive" professors as our on-campus counterparts. Hailing from world-renowned institutions, our professors are experts and leaders in their fields. Your support system will go beyond your classroom peers. One student remarked, "The professors are amazing in their skills... They are so supportive and truly want to help us understand and apply the material to our real lives." Another student said, "My e-mails are answered within one hour, even at 2 a.m." While we can't promise a response at 2 a.m. every time, our faculty commit to 24-hour maximum response times.
SUPPORTIVE STAFF
This experience is about you. That is why we strive to support you with staff that is "responsive and accommodating." Our "amazing" faculty and staff "do whatever they can to help" students "feel comfortable and valued." We are thrilled to hear students say, "the program is run extremely effectively," and we are committed to serving you in your unique journey.

EXPANDED NETWORK
An online format doesn't mean you won't gain a valuable network — it means you have access to an expanded network. You will have the opportunity to meet people from all over the world, including "engineers of various fields, doctors, entrepreneurs, [and] business majors." These "eclectic" and "strategic" classmates are "all high caliber" and excellent contributors "to group projects." We create a variety of opportunities to make connections through the "perfect mix of lectures, group work, mixers, and time to get to know [y]our instructors."
Students also have the option to attend a three-day, on-campus residency during their first year, which students say is "fantastic." Fellow students have "a great deal of work experience, which lends itself to discussions," as well as "a surprising number of international experiences."
You can walk away from this program with a top-tier alumni network that will benefit you for life.

DESIGNED FOR ONLINE
Our top-ranked program is designed with the online learner in mind. "The quality and accessibility of the instructors and the tools and assignments used to create a collaborative environment" is unmatched and will lend to your greater success in the program. With the "convenience" and accessibility of an online format, you can fit your degree into any schedule. "Work is scheduled into weekly modules that are manageable," with the program "releasing materials before [the] semester begins so that students can get a jumpstart on the week." "Lectures are top quality and easy to view," and the online discussions are "great." One student noted, "We are all miles apart, but online sessions make it possible for us all to collaborate just like we are all in the same classroom."
DISTINGUISHED DEGREE
You won't be earning your degree from just any university. Ranked among the top business schools in the world, the University of Utah David Eccles School of Business has a "cutting-edge" outlook and "great reputation." A degree from a top-ranked school can set you apart from the competition and accelerate your growth. We are committed to maintaining our reputation so that you earn a degree you can be proud of for years to come.
We are confident in the value that we provide to our students. Our unique combination of quality, affordability, and individual support is unheard of and unmatched.

SO, WHY SHOULD I CARE?
Many schools tout their rankings, but less time is devoted to explaining why you should care as a prospective student. No ranking can capture everything that matters to every student, but here are just a few reasons a strong ranking should matter to you:
• Rankings provide external validation of whether a school can deliver on the promises it makes.
• Many rankings, including Princeton Review, weigh student satisfaction heavily in their calculations. Think of the outcome similarly to online reviews for any purchase you’re considering.
• Your MBA is a one-time experience. An outside appraisal of what’s in store will help you make the right choice.
