Now online at: http://www.topmba.com/mba-rankings/online-mba-rankings/2015 where there is also a summary of the method. The top 4 schools are not a surprise, and it's a pity that the fifth is now out of the MBA business. I'm also happy to see the Euro*MBA, one of my favourite programmes, getting recognition.

I've pasted the results below: not sure why some names duplicated, but they did.

Good to have another online MBA ranking in the mix. I'm not sure though, that Amity would have made the cut in the FT ranking!

True, but at $5,500 it's pretty compelling. It has European Foundation for Management Development accreditation. It might be, for example, nice for someone who didn't want an MBA qualification but did want guided learning and feedback.

''The fundamental objective of the EFMD CEL programme is to raise the standard of technology-enhanced learning programmes worldwide. EFMD CEL aims to facilitate standard setting, benchmarking, mutual learning, and the dissemination of good practice''. https://www.efmd.org/accreditation-main/cel

This accreditation do not say anything about the quality of the course, but i guess it directed more towards the delivery of the course. It is an operational excellence award.

Effective learning is a quality measure.

Not sure I understand, since this has EFMD accreditation is that similar to EQUIS accreditation?

EFMD produces both the EQUIS and CEL accreditations.
