What's new with online MBAs?
The demand for online MBA programs has been steadily increasing in recent years, and the trend shows minimal signs of slowing down . With the pandemic forcing many to rethink their education and career paths, more people are turning to online MBA programs as a flexible and convenient way to enhance their business skills and knowledge.
One of the biggest benefits of online MBA programs is the flexibility and convenience they offer (although online MBA students are more driven by financial factors and brand/quality signals). With online programs, students can complete their coursework from anywhere, at any time, and on their own schedule — furthermore, while online students have historically preferred to enroll at an institution fairly nearby, online MBA students indicate more openness to pursuing a program from an institution further away. This makes it possible for students who have demanding jobs or family obligations to pursue an advanced degree without sacrificing their current responsibilities. Additionally, online MBA programs are often more affordable than traditional in-person programs, which makes them a more accessible option for many people. Typical on-campus, two-year MBA programs costs just over $60,000 on average while online MBAs have an average cost of under $30,000.
