The online Master of Business Administration program at the University of Mississippi has been objectively ranked a “Best Buy” by GetEducated.com’s national editorial review team.
The program, accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, was ranked 13th out of 133 competing online MBAs nationwide in the national survey. Mississippi State University was ranked 20th. The award designation indicates the university offers a high-quality distance MBA to a national audience at a cost well below the $32,926 national average.

“To be recognized nationally as a great value is an honor,” said Bethany Cooper, director of corporate relations and MBA services. “We hope this recognition attracts students from around the country who may not have thought of the University of Mississippi otherwise.”

The 36-semester-hour MBA program is entirely online and taught by top research faculty with the flexibility to meet working professionals’ needs. Students may enter in the spring, summer or fall. Mississippi residents pay just over $12,500 for the program, while nonresidents pay just under $23,500.

By comparison, the least expensive distance MBA, at Southeast Missouri State University, costs between $8,234 and $14,174. The most expensive, from Duke University, costs about $119,000.

If you’ve ever felt your career has suffered because you don’t have a graduate degree… If you want the university on your resume to be one whose reputation is built on a century and a half of providing outstanding education… but you can’t shut down your life for a year or two to go back to school.. then we have a solution for you.

The Professional MBA program is geared toward the working business person. It can be completed in as little as two years, or longer depending on the student’s desires. Courses are delivered primarily in an on-line format — giving you the most flexibility possible to allow you to fit coursework into any work schedule.

In just four regular semesters and two summer sessions, you can earn an MBA from an accredited business school at the widely respected, historic University of Mississippi. The Ole Miss Professional MBA curriculum covers the same ground as the on-campus program and is taught by the same faculty. The difference is that you don’t have to leave your job or uproot your family to get your MBA – and you don’t have to settle for a less prestigious school.
