Louisiana Tech University’s Professional Master of Business Administration (MBA) and online Master of Engineering and Technology Management (ETM) programs are among the 2025 Best Online Programs rankings released today by U.S. News & World Report.

The online MBA is the highest ranked program in Louisiana for the fourth consecutive year.

“Our continued inclusion on U.S. News’ list for Best Online MBA is a testament to the academic and professional excellence seen across our college,” said Dr. Chris Martin, dean of the College of Business. “These rankings also reflect our commitment to providing students with flexible MBA options, ensuring they receive the same high-quality education taught by world-class faculty, regardless of where they are in the world.”

Accredited by AACSB International, Louisiana Tech’s Professional MBA program is designed to provide a solid foundation in all business disciplines while integrating technology and innovation. The online delivery method makes learning convenient for those who cannot attend a consistent class schedule and prefer to work at their own pace. MBA concentrations are offered online in data analytics, marketing, aviation management, and Six Sigma.

“As we continue to expand our academic offerings and grow enrollment, our focus remains on developing ethical, innovative, and tech-savvy business leaders,” said Martin. “The strong career placements of our graduates indicate our curriculum prepares them for success in today’s rapidly changing business environment.”

Similarly building its own track record of consistency, Tech’s College of Engineering is ranked in the U.S. News list for the second year in a row.

“We are excited to be included in the U.S. News and World Report for our online Master of Engineering and Technology Management,” said College of Engineering and Science Dean Dr. Collin Wick. “This program prepares our students for leadership positions in technical fields and companies, focusing on project management, continuous improvement, and risk analysis.”

The ETM program provides students with an understanding of mathematical, statistical, and risk modeling analysis. It includes systems design, engineering management, project management, and financial analysis to make graduates more effective in technical managerial and leadership roles in a business environment.

“This year, we are enhancing our efforts to showcase the outstanding opportunities within our ETM program, ensuring that more students can discover how it equips them for successful careers in a dynamic field,” Wick said. “I extend my sincere gratitude to our dedicated faculty for their unwavering commitment to student success and to U.S. News & World Report for recognizing their contributions through this ranking.”
