Value Colleges (@ValueColleges), an online guide to the best values in undergraduate and graduate college education, is proud to release the Top 50 Best Value Online MBA and Health Management Programs of 2016.
Value Colleges’ Top 50 Best Value MBA and Health Management Program ranking takes into consideration all regionally-accredited, reputable colleges and universities which offer an online MBA program that features some form of health management specialization. The top 50 are ranked using the following metrics: reputability (based on U.S. News & World Report rankings and AACSB accreditation); affordability (the actual cost per credit); and return on investment, or ROI (based on data from PayScale). This ranking formula–and the endorsement from Values Colleges–promises to provide prospective students with a truly reliable list of programs.
The three best Best Values for 2016 are as follows: 1) Portland State University in Portland, Oregon; 2) University of Wisconsin System MBA Consortium in Wisconsin; and 3) Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. Congratulations to the top three, and to all the excellent institutions that made the list!
