The comprehensive guide to online MBA programs, Online MBA Today, published a new ranking of the 35 best online MBA programs in supply chain management.

A list of over 375 online MBA school programs was obtained, and first vetted according to whether or not the MBA program had a good business management foundation, as well as an extensive understanding of supply chain management. Each program was then ranked based on the following five factors: estimated tuition cost, accreditation, early career salary, prestige and overall graduation rate. The data for this ranking was derived from the most recent and publicly available sources, including PayScale, U.S. News and World Report, the Princeton Review, the Financial Times, Quacquarelli Symonds and the National Center for Education Statistics. Data was gathered for each online MBA program, weighted equally, and then averaged to find the top online MBA programs in supply chain management.
