At the end of the day, it is the ultimate test: After spending tens of thousands of dollars and two or more years of your life in an online MBA program, would you recommend it to others? Across the board, all the ranked schools did well on this measure with 39 separate programs receiving a score of 9 or above on a ten-point scale, with ten reflecting the strongest recommendation from graduates. But at the very top was the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga with a perfect 10. The next highest were Lehigh University, Santa Clara University's Leavey School of Business, the University of Denver Daniels College of Business, and the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business.
