Graduate Programs

On March 5 and 6, the Chambers College Online MBA and face-to-face MBA students participated in the second annual virtual residency, spearheaded and organized by OHMBA and MBA Programs Coordinator Dr. Jack Dorminey. This two day event was headlined by a series of expert speakers who engaged with all of the MBA and OHMBA participants.

Chambers College moved up to #21 this year in the US News non-MBA online business degrees category (up from an unconfirmed ranking of #26 last year). This ranking applies to our online programs of the MS Business Data Analytics, MS Business Cybersecurity Management and MS in Forensics and Fraud Examination. We now have three degrees in the Top 25, which is an incredible accomplishment for our College.

We are also ranked #12 in best non-MBA business degrees for veterans, a ranking that is also applicable to the BUDA, CYBR and FAFE degrees.

It is even more remarkable to indicate that we stayed exactly the same as last year in the online MBA, ranked at #45.
