La Verne Earns High Rankings for Online, MSLM Programs
The University of La Verne ranked as the No. 1 “Best Online School in California” by the organization Accredited Schools Online in February, and recently received additional high marks for its online Masters of Business Administration and Master of Science in Leadership and Management programs.
Accredited Schools Online analyzed data from hundreds of public and private colleges across the nation with online degrees at the bachelor’s level for its national report, which aims to identify institutions with the most notable balances of academic rigor, student support and affordability.
“These schools are not only offering exceptional programs, but they have expanded their program’s excellence to the much-desired online environment,” said Doug Jones, CEO and founder of the organization.
Accredited Schools based its rankings on cost-to-quality criteria and metrics, including the number of online bachelor’s degrees available, the student-to-faculty ratio and job placement rates.
La Verne appeared on the list of the top 10 west coast institutions for Online MBA Report’s “Online MBA Rankings” for 2015-2016. Online MBA Report ranked La Verne No. 4 based on surveys, information on the university’s website and information from other publications such as U.S. News and World Report and Princeton Review.
The organization, which evaluated more than 300 institutions with online MBA programs, used criteria including the academic reputation of a university’s online and campus-based MBA programs, enrollment numbers and value related to tuition.
The ranking organization Human Resources MBA included the University of La Verne in its list of 50 institutions with the most affordable master’s degree programs in organizational behavior. La Verne was included for its MSLM program. Human Resources MBA considered colleges based on their average annual graduate costs, including tuition and fees.
