USI online Master of Business Administration Program earns top 20 ranking by Fortune Education


The University of Southern Indiana Romain College of Business Master of Business Administration (MBA) Program has been ranked 20th in Fortune Education’s Best Online MBA Programs for 2024. The USI MBA Program has earned consistent accolades for its online program and affordability by Fortune, U.S. News & World Report and multiple other outlets.   

“We are thrilled our faculty, staff and students have earned this recognition for the transformational work being accomplished through the USI MBA Program,” said Dr. Jack Smothers, Master of Business Administration Director. “Most importantly, students are learning to lead motivated teams in the workplace, create valuable products and services and implement ethical solutions for sustainable operations. We are proud of our impact on business practice and thankful for the opportunity to work with leaders of today and tomorrow.”     

Dr. Michael Dixon, Dean of the School of Graduate Studies, added: “Interest in USI’s MBA continues to increase. Prospective students from across the United States and from countries around the world regularly submit inquiries and applications to our MBA Program. The program's faculty, students and graduates are generating this interest. Recognition by Fortune Education underscores that quality.”  

USI’s MBA Program is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), considered the “gold standard” for business accreditation. The affordable program can be completed in as few as 12 months with six start dates each year and is offered fully online or with a mixture of online and on-campus classes. We often hear from our graduates that the experiences they gain while pursuing their USI MBA greatly increase the pipeline of opportunities available to them. 

“We are grateful to the President, Provost, School of Graduate Studies, the entire USI leadership and all stakeholders whose support has been crucial to the success of the MBA Program,” said Dr. Sudesh Mujumdar, Dean of the Romain College of Business. “I am highly appreciative of our world-class faculty who display their expertise every single day to ensure that the MBA Program continues to create high-impact learning experiences for all students.” 

The MBA Program can be customized with concentrations in accounting, data analytics, engineering management, healthcare administration, human resource management, marketing, project management and supply chain management.
