CANYON, Texas—The Paul and Virginia Engler College of Business at West Texas A&M University earned the No. 23 ranking on The Princeton Review's list naming the top 25 online MBA programs in the world for 2020. This is the second consecutive year the MBA program has earned a top 25 ranking by The Princeton Review.

The Princeton Review chose schools list based on its 2019 surveys of institutions offering online MBA degree programs in combination with 5,100 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," Robert Franek, The Princeton Review editor-in-chief, said.  "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, along with students at other top business schools on the 2020 list the company surveyed, with their educational experience. Most notably, 99 percent of the student graduates from the top 25 listing told The Princeton Review their online MBA will have a positive impact on their careers.

"Being able to again be recognized by The Princeton Review is validation of the hard work and diligence of our faculty and staff from those that matter to us the most, our students," Dr. Robert Allen King, director of graduate business programs and Wilder Professor of Business, said. "The Princeton Review’s rankings are based on the feedback from our graduates, so it is truly an honor to be able to have served them in a way that shows our dedication to their current and future successes."
