IE Business School has been named the top online MBA provider for the fourth year running, while over half of the 47 schools listed below are based in the United States.

Nunzio Quacquarelli, CEO and founder of QS Quacquarelli Symonds, said: “The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic is obliging higher education providers to ensure they are able to offer outstanding teaching and learning experiences in the virtual classroom, and demand for online education is likely to accelerate as lockdowns across the world continue. QS are offering a ranking that has proved itself ahead of the curve in trying to capture both the standard of online learning experience in innovative ways, and in recognizing the importance of independent employability data in offering quality assurance.”
