CANYON, Texas — The “exceptionally strong” Paul and Virginia Engler College of Business at West Texas A&M University has risen in one of the most prestigious rankings of online MBA programs in the country.

The Princeton Review placed WT at No. 22 of its top 50 online MBA programs in the world for 2021. This is the third consecutive year the MBA program has earned a Top 25 ranking by The Princeton Review; last year, WT ranked No. 23.

The Princeton Review chose schools listed based on its 2020 surveys of institutions offering online MBA degree programs combined with 6,000 students enrolled in the online MBA programs. Data points were weighted in more than 60 unique fields to tally the final list. Criteria focused on five areas: academics, selectivity, faculty, technical platforms, and career outcomes.  

“We strongly recommend West Texas A&M University as an outstanding choice for anyone considering an online MBA,” said Robert Franek, The Princeton Review editor-in-chief. “The program is exceptionally strong both academically, and in the many ways it maximizes technology that enables students to interact with and learn from its superlative faculty and students all over the world.”

Franek noted the deep satisfaction Engler College of Business students and students at other top business schools on the 2021 list the company surveyed, with their educational experience.

Most notably, 99 percent of the student graduates from the top 50 listings told The Princeton Review their online MBA would positively impact their careers.

“A move forward in the rankings is welcome news,” said Dr. Robert Allen King, director of graduate business programs and Wilder Professor of Business. “It shows that our commitment to hard work and academic excellence is paying off, thanks to the hard work of our faculty, staff, and students. The Princeton Review’s rankings are based on the feedback from our graduates, so it very rewarding to know that our students are appreciative of our programs and have enjoyed their academic experience at the Engler College of Business.”
