With more students seeking the convenience of online education, new program offerings are popping up across the country. The number of schools that reported offering an online MBA program in 2019-2020 rose by 34 over the last year, from 301 to 335, according to a U.S. News survey.
Online MBA programs can offer the same strong academic foundations and career support of an in-person program while allowing students to continue working a job. But applicants should be aware that some online programs are pricey.

While some of the 10 most expensive public online MBA programs were created as early as the 1990s, others launched in just the last decade. For example, the University of Utah Eccles School of Business, which had a total program cost of $58,800 in 2019-2020, only began offering an online MBA in 2014, and the University of Maryland Smith School of Business, which had a total program cost of $88,776, also first offered an online MBA in 2014.
The University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill Kenan-Flagler Business School’s online MBA program, which is tied for No. 1 in the Best Online MBA Programs rankings, is the most expensive among the 127 ranked public programs that provided this information to U.S. News in an annual survey, with a total program cost of $125,589 in 2019-2020. The average total program cost among the 10 most expensive public schools was $69,926.
Kenan-Flagler, however, is an exception, as most online MBA programs don’t cost six figures. In fact, the total program costs of ranked online public MBA programs started as low as $2,310 in 2019-2020, with the average total cost among all ranked programs landing at about $25,621.

School officials can access historical data and rankings, including of peer institutions, via U.S. News Academic Insights.
U.S. News surveyed more than 330 schools for our 2020 Best Online MBA Programs rankings. Schools self-reported myriad data regarding their academic programs and the makeup of their student body, among other areas, making U.S. News’ data the most accurate and detailed collection of college facts and figures of its kind. While U.S. News uses much of these survey data to rank schools for our annual Best Online MBA Programs rankings, the data can also be useful when examined on a smaller scale. U.S. News will now produce lists of data, separate from the overall rankings, meant to provide students and parents a means to find which schools excel, or have room to grow, in specific areas that are important to them. This data is specific to schools’ online MBA degree program offerings and has no influence over U.S. News’ Best Graduate Schools rankings assessing traditional business programs. The total program cost data above is correct as of Aug. 25, 2020.
