U.S. News & World Report Ranks Fairfield Dolan's Programs Among Best in Nation

Fairfield University’s Charles F. Dolan School of Business online graduate business programs have once again been ranked among the best in the nation.

Fairfield University’s graduate business programs have been ranked among the 2024 Best Online Programs by U.S. News & World Report.

Dolan School of Business specialty programs (excluding MBA) jumped 7 spots to #68 (T) in the Best Online Master’s in Business Programs category.

“It is not surprising that our online master's programs have gone up in the rankings, since the same dedicated faculty members teach similarly small-sized classes in both our online and our on-campus programs,” said Anca Micu, senior associate dean and professor of marketing. “The ability we have to teach and career-coach our students — including those online — on a personal level, drives our great student outcomes.”

According to U.S. News, “This year’s edition evaluates more than 1,600 online bachelor’s and master’s degree programs using metrics specific to online learning. The rankings only include degree-granting programs offered primarily online by regionally accredited institutions.”

U.S. News & World Report’s 2023-24 Best Graduate Schools rankings included Fairfield Dolan’s Finance, Marketing, and Business Analytics programs among the Top 20 in the U.S., and Fairfield Dolan’s Accounting program maintained a high ranking of #26 nationally. In the state of Connecticut, Dolan’s Accounting, Business Analytics, Finance, and Marketing programs were ranked #1.
