The initiative, called Fortune Education, will include rankings and ratings of graduate, post-graduate, executive education, and other improvement programs. In 2021, Fortune will publish six higher education rankings.
The first one is The Best Online MBA Programs of 2021.
1. University of North Carolina—Chapel Hill (Kenan-Flagler)
2. Indiana University—Bloomington (Kelley)
3. Carnegie Mellon University (Tepper)
4. University of Southern California (Marshall)

Regarding the criteria, the company said that “it uses multiple data sets to formulate education rankings, including data provided by schools, a “Brand Score” that is calculated from a FORTUNE-Ipsos survey of hiring managers and business professionals, and a weighted “FORTUNE 1000 Score,” which considers business school alumni placement in the C-Suites of the biggest companies in the U.S.”
