This allows the institute to identify specific areas for improvement in its educational products and further enhance the student experience.
QS Online MBA Ranking Methodology
The QS Online MBA ranking identifies the world’s premier online MBA programs based on factors such as employability, faculty expertise, teaching quality, student profiles, and prior professional experience.
Key Performance Indicators
The ranking is determined by a specific set of metrics with the following weightings:
- Faculty and Teaching (35%): This indicator reflects the standard of instruction and assesses whether students receive sufficient individual attention from faculty to ensure consistent academic progress.
- Class Profile (30%): This metric provides insights into the diversity of the student body, accounting for the percentage of female students, the variety of nationalities represented, the average work experience of participants, and the overall competitiveness of the program.
- Employability (30%): As many students aim to transition into or advance within the workforce upon completion, the institution’s reputation among global employers is a critical factor.
- Class Experience / Learning Support (5%): This indicator measures the level of support provided to online students, including technical assistance, access to specialized learning applications, and the availability of all course materials.
