An MBA is the standard for professionals who want to take on higher management positions and earn more pay, but busy working adults cannot always afford to take time away from work or put their career on hold to go back to school.

"Graduate degrees like the MBA can be a draining program for professionals currently holding positions in corporations and organizations," as the editors of College Consensus note; "The strain of attending classes each week might make an employer think twice about releasing a manager to pursue such a program." But the online executive format gives working professionals the means to "find the time to pursue a degree which will equip them for the next level of business leadership." Not only do working adults not need to put their career on hold; "In fact, many programs advertise providing coursework that is immediately applicable for working MBA students in the boardroom and other workplace environments."

According to Consensus' editors, "An online executive MBA centers on higher-level leadership like change management and the ability to lead business leaders through practical problem-solving." The best online executive MBA programs, like those ranked by College Consensus, understand that "Today's executives need to be able to think analytically and solve problems to help ensure an organization's health and growth." With a focus on purpose and application, Consensus is pointing adult students to colleges and universities that make a difference for their graduates.
