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 38 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 Hofstra University Zarb School of Business with a perfect 10. The next highest were the University of Massachusetts-Amherst (Isenberg), Auburn University (Harbert), William & Mary (Mason), and the University of Michigan-Dearborn.
