KIRKLAND, Wash., Nov. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ MBACompass.com, an online resource focused on helping students navigate the MBA space, has just released its 2020 rankings of online MBA programs across the nation. The company is the first to offer rankings of online MBA degrees based on accreditation and alumni career data from LinkedIn. MBACompass.com researched 770 total MBA degrees and determined the rankings by analyzing the percent of alumni who went on to earn executive positions in their careers.
In order to ensure quality, legitimacy, and trustworthiness of the programs considered for the MBA rankings, each program must be accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP), and/or the International Accreditation Council for Business Education (IACBE). The 2020 Best Online MBA Programs utilizes the alumni career data in order to showcase business schools whose alumni are promoted into top positions. The data was collected from alumni-reported information on the colleges' business school LinkedIn pages, if applicable.
MBACompass.com also published rankings for the best MBA programs based on executive alumni data in 13 different states where MBA programs are popular. In addition to the ranking, each page includes information on jobs, salaries, and job growth projections in the state.

We are excited to be the first MBA rankings to highlight alumni outcomes, specifically looking at the number of executives each school has produced," said Mariya Bashkatova, lead Product Manager of MBACompass.com.
