Online MBA in Georgia: what to know

Georgia offers one of the widest selections of accredited online MBA programs in the country, 9 on our list, led by the University of Georgia and Georgia State (Robinson) in Atlanta, alongside the affordable University System of Georgia “WebMBA” consortium schools (Kennesaw State, University of West Georgia, Augusta) and independent options such as Georgia Southwestern and private Mercer University. All 9 hold AACSB accreditation, the gold standard earned by a minority of business schools worldwide.

On cost, Georgia is home to some of the most affordable AACSB MBAs in the nation: Augusta University (≈$7,080 in-state) and Georgia Southwestern ($9,756) sit at the bottom, while the University of Georgia tops the range at about $55,043. Kennesaw State (≈$25,210) and Georgia State ($45,198 for Georgia residents) fall in between. Tuition and fees change every year and in-state and out-of-state rates often differ, so confirm the current figure directly with the school before you budget.

Admissions are relatively accessible: most programs here make the GMAT optional or waivable, several use a GPA-based admission formula instead, which removes a common barrier for working applicants. Because the format is fully online (a few WebMBA schools include a short in-person orientation), it suits professionals who want to keep working while they study rather than relocate to campus.

International applicants are generally welcome, check each school's TOEFL or IELTS requirements early. Treat the numbers on this page as a starting point for comparison, and verify accreditation, deadlines, and specialization availability on the university's official admissions pages before you apply.
