New Jersey has 9 ranked online MBAs at AACSB-accredited business schools,
6 at public universities and 3 at private ones, plus 1 listed below without a rank.
Every one can be completed fully online, so studying at one does not mean moving to
New Jersey; the state matters mainly for price at public schools, and for readers who want a
school they know or a network where they work.
The ranking is the same one used nationally: graduate earnings from College Scorecard against
the tuition each school reports to AACSB. Cards are numbered by position in New Jersey, and each
shows the program's national rank. Program summaries come from each school's own online MBA
page, with the date it was read. How the scores work.

Technology runs through the core, which covers management, finance, marketing and technology, and students can build a custom concentration or pick MIS, Finance, Marketing, or Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
The program totals 36 credits and can be completed in four semesters, with admission for the fall, summer and spring semesters. Online students learn from the same faculty who teach on campus, in courses designed specifically for online learning.
The GMAT/GRE is waived for applicants with a bachelor's degree from an accredited U.S. or Canadian institution and a GPA of at least 3.0, and for those holding a master's, doctoral or professional degree; below a 3.0, waivers are considered case by case. The program is aimed at professionals seeking advancement, recent graduates, and people moving into leadership or management roles, and it provides personalized career guidance.
Students can point the capstone at an issue in their own workplace, an independent research project or a startup proposal, and they also build a personal strategic plan.
Courses are 100% online and delivered in an accelerated format with multiple start dates each year, and the MBA can be earned in as few as 12 months. The general track requires 15 credit hours of core courses (including the capstone), three credit hours of concentration courses and 12 credit hours of electives, and concentrations include Environmental, Social, and Governance; Healthcare Economics and Management; and Sales Strategy.
Admission requires an undergraduate degree plus a 3.0 GPA, a 2.75 GPA with two years of professional supervisory experience, or a 2.75 GPA with a qualifying GMAT or GRE score. Students without a B or better in the undergraduate business foundation courses may need up to nine additional credits but can start the MBA core while taking them.
The fully online format mixes asynchronous work with live virtual sessions and cohort-based core classes, and students can add up to two concentrations.
Montclair's online MBA combines 3-credit and 1.5-credit courses delivered 100% online, taken at a pace of 3 to 6 credits per 8-week term. Most students finish in about two years, and an optional faculty-led international study trip is available.
No GMAT or GRE is required, and admission is rolling, with applications due at least one week before the semester starts. The degree is STEM-designated, and the same MBA is also offered full time and as a weeknight hybrid.
Whole-program tuition at New Jersey's ranked online MBAs runs from $17,910 to $85,656, with a median of $39,420 , above the $32,265 median for all ranked programs. The 6 public programs have a median of $37,098, the 3 private ones $47,295.
None of New Jersey's ranked schools reports a lower in-state price for the online MBA.
Tuition is the whole-program figure each school reports to AACSB. Schools update it on their own schedule and some exclude fees, so it can trail the price on the school's own site: Illinois reports $24,984 to AACSB for the iMBA, and its program page lists $27,288 in total tuition and fees. Use it to compare programs, and confirm the current price with the school.

Common Questions About Studying In New Jersey
Is an online MBA worth it?
What can be checked is the price against the earnings. The 9 ranked New Jersey programs report a median $39,420 for the whole degree, and their schools' business master's graduates earned a median $80,490 a year after finishing. No federal source reports what the same people would have earned without the degree, so that is a description of the group rather than a return.
Will federal aid pay for an online MBA?
Graduate students file the same FAFSA as undergraduates and the programs here are at accredited institutions, so federal loans are generally available; grants largely are not, since Pell is an undergraduate program. This site does not model aid: the tuition on every card is the published whole-program figure the school reports to AACSB, before any aid.
