BOONE, N.C. — Appalachian State University’s Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree ranks among the world’s top tier programs, according to CEO Magazine.

According to CEO Magazine, the benefits of earning an MBA are well documented and include career progression, networking opportunities, personal development and increased salary.

The publication named App State’s full-time, on-campus MBA a Tier One program as part of its “2022 Global MBA Rankings,” marking the sixth consecutive year the university has earned this distinction.

CEO Magazine also recognized App State’s online MBA, ranking the program No. 63 out of 98 internationally recognized programs — advancing the university seven positions above its 2021 ranking. The online MBA placed as No. 40 among North American programs named to the list.

“An MBA sets you apart, and App State alumni are known for their strong work ethic, analytical and problem-solving abilities, and leadership prowess,” said Dr. Sandra Vannoy, interim dean of App State’s Walker College of Business. “This latest acknowledgement verifies once again that our faculty are providing a high-quality education that develops fundamental and transferable business skills in our MBA graduates.”

“Not only do our MBA students get the close faculty–student interaction App State is known for, but they also get a world-class business education that prepares them for career progression and leadership in their organizations,” said Dr. Neel Das, director of App State’s MBA program.

According to CEO Magazine, the benefits of earning an MBA are well documented and include career progression, networking opportunities, personal development and increased salary.

The 2022 rankings featured 347 online, executive, full-time and part-time MBA programs from 180 schools in 27 countries. Rankings were determined using a scoring system with metrics that included faculty qualifications, class size, international diversity, accreditation, faculty-to-student ratio and cost, among other factors.
