The top online MBA programs had lower average student enrollment than the top in-person, part-time programs, U.S. News data show. While acceptance rates and incoming students’ GPAs were similar in both categories, there were greater differences in average GMAT scores. When it comes to online and in-person, part-time MBA programs, both generally attract a similar demographic of students: working professionals looking to balance their jobs and other responsibilities with an education. And while flexibility is a key reason to consider pursuing an online MBA program over one on a physical campus, you can also look at data to compare your options.
