Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business returned to the top of Poets&Quants’ 2026 ranking of online MBA programs, reclaiming the No.1 spot after placing second in 2025. The ranking placed the University of Texas at Dallas (Jindal) and Michigan Ross close behind, with less than a point separating the top three finishers. Poets&Quants’ results highlight program consistency, tuition dispersion and competitive positioning—Kelley’s online tuition was listed at $94,944—factors that institutions and recruiters will use to market programs and shape investment in online program infrastructure.
