The Online Accelerated MBA from Cleveland State University’s Monte Ahuja College of Business is among the top 12 online MBA programs in the nation and the No. 1 program in Ohio, according to the Affordable Colleges Online 2015-2016 rankings.

Affordable Colleges Online analyzed data from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and the schools themselves, comparing metrics including accreditation, cost, academic and counseling services, job placement for graduates and student-teacher ratios for hundreds of public, not-for-profit universities offering online degree programs.

Using a peer-based value, Affordable Colleges Online has distinguished its ranking scale by comparing the cost of each online MBA program to the cost of similar programs with the same qualitative score.

Launched in 2012, CSU’s Online Accelerated MBA allows students to earn an MBA within one year by completing all classes and tests online. Each student in the program receives a new Apple iPad to access digital course materials, including e-books, interactive learning systems, course modules and study apps.
