September 2, 2025 — Marist’s Online MBA program has earned top honors from The Princeton Review, being named one of the top 50 programs in the nation.

This recognition is part of The Princeton Review’s comprehensive report of the Best Business Schools for 2025, which surveyed nearly 12,000 students enrolled in online MBA programs nationwide, as well as administrators at 145 business schools.

“The MBA and School of Management are committed to delivering a quality AACSB accredited program that emphasizes flexibility for our students,” said Jay Pantaleo, Associate Dean and Senior Professional Lecturer of Decision Science and MBA Program Director. “We are very excited about being selected to The Princeton Review’s Top Online MBA programs.”

The Princeton Review emphasizes four key characteristics in its analyses: excellent academics, robust experiential learning, outstanding career services, and positive student feedback.

Marist’s MBA program excels across these criteria, and they exemplify key components of the Marist 100 strategic plan for the University’s future. Marist’s curriculum is taught by industry experts and experienced faculty, combined with real-world applications.

The Marist MBA is specifically designed for working professionals, with over 90% of students completing their degree while maintaining full-time employment. The program features a 100% online format, optional 14-month accelerated track, and five annual start dates, allowing students to balance their professional and personal commitments while advancing their education.

Students can choose from concentrations in Financial Management, Healthcare Administration, or Ethical Leadership, with the option to earn advanced certificates in Healthcare Management or Ethical Leadership, positioning graduates well for leadership roles across a wide array of industries.

The newest addition to the program is a one-year online option, in which current Marist students with minimum junior status and Marist alumni may waive two graduate courses if they’ve successfully completed relevant undergraduate business courses.

“We are constantly striving to better our program and are thrilled to offer these enhanced options giving our students as much flexibility as possible,” said Pantaleo.
