Where can I find a (credible) ranking of online MBA programs?

I am currently applying to business schools and I would like to apply to at least one online program. However, since I run the risk of employers frowning on an online degree, I would like to be sure that the program is both high quality and prestigious (i.e. I’m not going to U. Phoenix). Unfortunately, I cannot find any organization that ranks online programs. Ideally, there is something out there similar to the US News and World Report rankings. Does anyone have any advice?

I’ve searched and never found a credible online MBA ranking, but I can suggest an alternative. Check out the “Economist Intelligence Unit” website (sister company of the Economist magazine) which offers a worldwide ranking of MBA programs. If you search around you’ll find that several top-tier instituions have online programs (Indiana, Florida, etc.). You’ll also find several pricey executive programs that you may/may not be interested in.

I would also think about finding a reputable part-time program which provides the opportunity to enhance your personal network (an often underestimated part of an MBA program).

Good Luck!
