Draper, UT -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/19/2021 -- EDsmart's ranking of the Best Part-Time MBA Programs is the most comprehensive and well-rounded to date. The ranking includes only fully accredited schools. Rankings are based on affordability, graduation and retention rates according to U.S. Department of Education reporting and 20-year net ROI according to PayScale.

"As online MBA degrees become more prevalent, it is important to recognize the colleges and universities that go above and beyond," said Tyson Stevens, managing editor of EDsmart. "Our goal is to highlight these schools and their commitment to higher education."

"The Best Part-Time MBA Programs ranking allows students to compare accredited programs and find those that best fit their education interests and career goals," said EDsmart's spokesperson.
