One of the best parts about an online MBA versus a full-time residential MBA is the ability to literally test-drive the degree and what you're learning in your job in real time. Graduates of Santa Clara rated their ability to immediately apply what they learned in the program to the job better than any other alumni base for the second year in a row. Other schools earning high marks include the University of Michigan-Dearborn, Bryant University, Jack Welch Management Institute, and the University of Texas at Dallas.
