The online MBA program in the University of Baltimore's Merrick School of Business is ranked #26 in CEO Magazine's 2016 Global MBA Rankings, published Feb. 8. The London-based publication surveyed more than 300 business schools across North America, Europe and Australia in search of the most effective MBA programs, both on-campus and online, as well as other MBA-like offerings. UB's overall MBA also was ranked in the second tier of all such programs in North America, alongside programs at Bowling Green State University, Akron University, Iowa State University, and more than a dozen others.

"CEO's ranking is new territory for our MBA, and we're quite proud to receive the recognition," said Merrick School of Business Dean Murray Dalziel. "This is clearly a publication intended for business leaders around the world, who are looking for MBA graduates with a deep understanding of business processes, strategic approaches to growth and change, and long-term visioning for their companies. I'm pleased to see us among such good company."

CEO said its Global MBA Rankings are "designed with applicants in mind, and examine the nuts and bolts of an MBA: the learning environment, class sizes, tuition fees, faculty, delivery methods, international diversity, gender make-up and more. The objective is simple: to identify schools which marry exceptional quality with great ROI."
