UWG's online MBA program ranked in Top 25
March 27, 2006
CARROLLTON, GA - The University of West Georgia’s online MBA program, Georgia WebMBA, has been ranked as one of the Top 25 best buys in the country by GetEducated.com. The program is offered in collaboration with four other University System of Georgia institutions and has been ranked in the top 25 in two consecutive surveys by GetEducated.com.
Out of 130 graduate schools offering an online graduate degree in business administration, the WebMBA ranked 16th. This is the second time in three years the online program received this recognition.
Dr. Jon Anderson, associate dean and MBA director at the Richards College of Business, said team spirit and collaboration made the difference.
“This is an exceptional recognition of an innovative program,” said Anderson. “Through collaborating with other USG institutions in the state, we are able to deliver a high quality MBA at a very reasonable price. This degree program and the recognition it has received are a direct result of the collaborative spirit and hard work of our faculty members. Without their work, this program would not be the success that it is.”
GetEducated.com ranks institutions with online degrees in several areas including quality and tuition rates. A GetEducated.com Best Buy designation indicates that the program provides a high quality distance degree at rates well below the national average. A WebMBA at UWG costs $15,750 and usually takes about 18 months to complete.
