Every year The Princeton Review curates a list of the best business schools in the nation. Within the schools that make this list, 50 are recognized for having the best online MBA programs. The Texas Tech University online MBA program at the Jerry S. Rawls College of Business ranked No. 12 on the list this year. This ranking is a six-spot increase compared to its previous placement at No. 18 in 2024. Additionally, the on-campus MBA and STEM MBA programs were ranked No. 8 for Best Campus Environment.

The Princeton Review’s Top 50 Online MBA Programs for 2025 list is determined by data from surveys taken by 146 administrators of business school  offering online MBAs as well as from surveys taken by more than 11,900 students enrolled in contending online MBA programs. The administrator surveys assessed each school’s admissions, selectivity, faculty training and credentials, technology infrastructure, graduation rates, career outcomes of graduates,  and more. The student surveys asked students to rate their program's academics, professors, technology, campus life, and other topics, and to report on their career plans and satisfaction with the program. More than 60 data points were weighed in the program selections and ranking tally.

Rob Franek, The Princeton Review's editor-in-chief, said this ranking is a designation of being the best.

“We highly recommend Texas Tech University and all the schools that made our 2025 best business school lists,” said Franek. “They share four characteristics that informed our criteria for designating them as ‘best’: excellent academics, robust experiential learning components, outstanding career services, and positive feedback about them from their students we surveyed."

More information about this ranking including the methodology for the school selections is posted on The Princeton Review website.
