Now, you may think of engineering degrees when you think of
Michigan Technological University in Houghton, but the school has some pretty impressive offerings in other fields as well, and that's highlighted by the recent listing of Tech's online MBA program as among the top 25 in the U.S.
The ranking comes from
SuperScholar, an education and career website, which placed Michigan Tech's program No. 20 out of 25 top online MBAs.
It was cited particularly "for its emphasis on innovation, technology and entrepreneurship" in the MBA program online, which is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
It's not the first time the program has gotten such notice, either; the
U.S. News and World Report ranked it on a list of honor roll online MBA programs in the magazine's first such listing of online education programs.
"Our Tech MBA Online has once again been recognized as a top MBA program internationally. It also confirms that we are aligned with the changing trends in our global economy by offering a flexible, online learning environment focused on innovation and technology management with an international business perspective," says Darrell Radson, dean of the school of business and economics at Tech.
To make the SuperScholar list, schools were ranked on quality, marketability and affordability of the degree.
