FROM STAFF REPORTS

The University of Montevallo’s Michael E. Stephens College of Business has been named one of the top universities in the state for online Master of Business Administration programs.

Collegeconsensus.com recently released its list of the Best Online MBA Programs in Alabama, and Montevallo came in at No. 2 on a list including public and private colleges from throughout the state.

The website praised the Stephens College of Business for offering a convenient, affordable and high-quality online MBA program.

Montevallo’s MBA program holds a prestigious international-level accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, and distance learners can earn their MBA in just two calendar years while taking courses part-time.

“We are very pleased to have Montevallo’s Stephens College MBA program recognized and honored as one of the two top online programs in Alabama. We have long known that Montevallo’s MBA program is distinguished from our peers because we offer students a unique and unparalleled level of flexibility to move seamlessly between online and seated,” said Dr. Stephen Craft, dean of the Stephens College of Business. “The courses are taught exclusively by full-time faculty. An all-in MBA program cost of approximately $15,000 combined with prestigious world-class accreditation from AACSB means that our MBA offers students the strongest possible opportunity to invest in their own human capital.”
