A Poets&Quants alumni survey of Class of 2025 online MBA graduates found measurable career benefits: 31.6% reported securing promotions during or shortly after their programs, and Hofstra University’s Zarb School led the survey on promotion outcomes with 71.4% of respondents reporting a promotion. The ranking’s career-outcomes component drew on responses from 1,325 alumni out of 7,957 eligible graduates (16.7% response rate). The data underscores the centrality of career services and employer connections in online MBA value propositions. Schools that scored highly on promotion and career-support metrics are likely to emphasize those results in recruitment and employer partnerships as competition intensifies among online programs.
