US News & World Report’s 2025 rankings place Rutgers Business School’s diverse portfolio of online master’s in business programs at No. 8 overall among more than 200 online graduate business programs offered by universities across the country.
In three different subject areas – accounting, marketing, and supply chain management – Rutgers Business School’s online graduate programs ranked No. 2 in U.S. News and World Report’s 2025 Best Online (non-MBA) Master’s in Business Programs.
Rutgers Business School was also ranked No. 3 for the best online graduate business degree programs for veterans. The ranking is based on the school’s acceptance of financial benefits for veterans as well as the number of veterans enrolled in graduate programs at the school.
“The results of the U.S. News and World Report ranking reflect the high quality of our online graduate programs in accounting, digital marketing and supply chain management,” said Lei Lei, dean of Rutgers Business School.
“At Rutgers Business School, we continue to build and offer highly innovative programs to meet the needs of students and companies,” she said. “Rutgers Business School is also very proud to count many veterans among our students in our top-ranked online master’s programs.”
The online Master of Science in Supply Chain Management program secured the No. 2 spot as it marks its 10-year anniversary, and the online Master of Science in Digital Marketing ranked No. 2 for the second year in a row.
Professor Rudolph Leuschner, director of the online Master of Science in Supply Chain Management program, said the ranking showcases the program’s strong curriculum, experienced faculty, its ability to adapt to the evolving demands of the industry, and the quality of the program’s students.
Stacy Schwartz, a professor of professional practice and director of the Master of Science in Digital Marketing, said the program empowers marketers and entrepre0neurs with the skills they need to thrive in today’s digital-first world.
The No. 2 ranking for accounting reflects the success of both the Master of Accountancy in Governmental Accounting as well as the new Master of Accountancy in Accounting and Analytics.
“The continued recognition of Rutgers Business School’s Master’s in Governmental Accounting program by U.S. News & World Report is very gratifying,” said Professor Irfan Bora, the program director. “It reflects the high quality of our program and the significant benefits it provides to our students in advancing excellence in governmental financial management.”
“As the only program of its kind in the nation,” Bora said, “our online format attracts highly motivated individuals who seek to make a meaningful impact within their organizations and those pursuing a rewarding career that combines public service with professional growth.”
Professor Alexander Sannella, academic director of the Master of Accounting and Analytics, also acknowledged the continued recognition of Rutgers Business School’s programs and the school’s efforts to improve and update program curriculum.
“The addition of cutting-edge technology is a contributing factor in our continued success,” Sannella said.
