BLOOMINGTON, Ind., April 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Kelley Direct
Online MBA program at the Indiana
University Kelley School of Business once again has been
ranked No. 1 in North America and
fifth worldwide by QS Intelligence Unit, a respected research
organization that also produces the QS World University
Rankings.
Also, with a score of 96.7 out of 100, QS ranked Kelley Direct
No. 2 for employability in the U.S and Canada and No. 3 worldwide.
The quality of the class profile, which included factors such as
years of work experience, female and international representation,
and size of enrollment, was ranked third best in North America and eighth worldwide.
QS' editors noted that the market for online MBA programs
remains increasingly competitive. This year's online MBA rankings
included 102 programs worldwide, including those across
Europe, Asia and the Middle
East and Africa. They
received responses from more than 61,000 employers and 48,100
academics.
"Kelley Direct is a unique MBA experience, and that's reflected
in our rankings," said Ash Soni, dean of the Kelley School of
Business and The Sungkyunkwan Professor. "Our faculty and staff
have worked very hard to create an innovative curriculum and
engaging in-person events that set Kelley apart from other
programs."
Earlier this year and for the third consecutive year, U.S. News
& World Report named Kelley Direct the No. 1 online MBA
program. It also was the seventh time it had done so since
beginning to rank such programs in 2013. It also is ranked No. 1 by
Fortune, Poets&Quants, and The Princeton Review.
"We are grateful for further validation of the Kelley Direct MBA
program," said Will Geoghegan, chair
of Kelley Direct and clinical associate professor of management and
entrepreneurship. "It's immensely rewarding to receive our fifth
major No. 1 ranking this year. We are deeply committed to the
quality of our program, which is designed to provide an online MBA
experience that feels anything but online."
Kelley Direct is the original online MBA program from a top-tier
business school, marking its 25th anniversary this year. The
program is uniquely designed in how it serves the needs of working
professionals. Unlike other business schools who partner with
external, for-profit vendors, who outsource aspects of their online
MBA programs, all aspects of Kelley Direct are done in-house.
All Kelley Direct courses are designed and taught by more than
130 dedicated full-time Kelley faculty. This ensures that students
receive a unique and personalized education that includes in-person
and immersive experiences. They include Kelley On Campus, which involves a live case
where students apply what they're learning in a real-world setting
that also benefits a real client; and Kelley On Location, which
offers optional global and domestic immersions tailored to the
students' goals.
