The UND Nistler College of Business and Public Administration (CoBPA) is excited to announce that U.S. News and World Report has recently released the following rankings for the Best Online Business programs in 2020, placing UND’s Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Master of Science in Applied Economics & Predictive Analytics and Master of Accountancy (Non-MBA) Programs in the following spots:

  • Best Online Graduate Business (Non-MBA)  – #38 (TOP 25% of ranked schools)
  • Best Online Graduate Business (Non-MBA), Programs for Veteran’s – #20

The 2020 Best Online MBA Programs rankings evaluate schools based solely on data related to their distance education MBA programs. U.S. News has assessed non-MBA graduate business degrees in areas such as accounting, economics, and management separately for a different ranking, Best Online Graduate Business Programs.

“I am incredibly proud of the recent announcement of the rankings for Best Online Business Programs. Our MBA, MSAE, and MAcc programs truly stand up against the best graduate business programs in the country.  These exceptional rankings are a true testament to the dedicated faculty, staff, and students that we have in the Nistler College of Business & Public Administration,” says UND Nistler College of Business & Public Administration Dean, Amy Henley.

The business programs at the University of North Dakota hold AACSB International accreditation, which affirms the program’s high standards and faculty qualifications. Only 5% of business schools worldwide have achieved and maintained AACSB International accreditation.

“The Nistler College is delighted with the rankings from U.S. News and World Report for the 2020 Best Online Graduate Business Programs. As a College we are continuously striving for excellence with our graduate education curriculum and these rankings are a symbol of our advancements. The faculty and staff in the Nistler College at UND are working hard to provide students with wonderful program experiences which will advance their careers,” says UND Nistler College of Business & Public Administration Assistant Dean of Graduate Programs, Michelle Garske.
