The Economist Distance Learning Ranking [Archive.org URL]

The Economist Intelligence Unit has produced a ranking of the world’s top distance-learning MBA programs. Ranking distance-learning programs is not straightforward. Many of the quantitative data used to rank full-time MBA programs are of little use when it comes to distance learning.

However, if you are to study much of the program in isolation, a sense of connection to the school and good virtual learning materials are essential, and many of these are best judged subjectively. The ranking therefore took into account three basic criteria to judge the schools: program content; the quality of fellow students; and distance-learning elements (this includes such things as the effectiveness of distance-learning materials).
