"This year, we focused on the schools making it easier for students to compete in today鈥檚 increasingly difficult job market,鈥 said Kyle Darland, co-founder of OMD. 鈥淓ach ranked school offers fully or partially online master鈥檚 degree programs at a time when earning a master鈥檚 has become a minimum barrier to entry for many.鈥 Darland is referencing a recent survey from CareerBuilder, which found that 鈥渢hirty-three percent of employers are hiring workers with master鈥檚 degrees for positions that had been primarily held by those with four-year degrees.鈥 These employers cited an evolution of the skills needed to perform the jobs as the cause of the shift, and an increase in work quality, productivity and employee retention as the result.

鈥淧roviding students with opportunities to get a master鈥檚 online is only part of our rankings,鈥 said Darland. 鈥淭op-ranked schools also had competitive tuition rates and/or scholarships to help drive costs down. And with grocery, gas and other expenses on everyone鈥檚 mind right now, an affordable master鈥檚 is key.鈥  
In concert with the top recognition from OMD, 四虎影视's College of Graduate and Continuing Studies (CGCS) announced the new online Bachelor of Science in Business Analytics program and four new master's programs: defense policy, global affairs, management, and museum administration, which are set to start in March 2023.
