It has never been easier to learn. While distance learning programmes are nothing new, advances in information technologies have made e-learning available to an unprecedented number of students.
The 2014 inaugural Financial Times ranking of online MBA programmes recognises that “online” offers a credible alternative to “residential”. Fifteen business schools from four countries are included in this ranking.
The FT ranking is based on two surveys of the business schools and their alumni who graduated in 2010. MBA programmes are assessed according to the career progression of their alumni, the school’s “idea generation” and the diversity of its students and faculty.
