Alongside other top executives, operations managers are in high demand. And those with MBAs earn higher average salaries than those with master&rsquo;s degrees in management and other disciplines.<\/p>\r\n<p>Every year, the Graduate Management Admissions Council (GMAC) conducts a survey of corporate recruiters. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gmac.com\/-\/media\/files\/gmac\/research\/employment-outlook\/2024-corporate-recruiters-survey\/2024_gmac_crs_report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2024 Corporate Recruiters Survey<\/a>, only 12% of U.S. employers say they don&rsquo;t plan to hire MBAs in 2024, compared with 57% for a master&rsquo;s in management. Further, MBA graduates can expect a median salary offer of $120,000, while those with a master&rsquo;s in management receive $80,000. <\/p>\r\n<p>This data suggests now is a good time to pursue an MBA with a concentration in operations management. Our ranking of the best online MBA in operations management programs can help you find a business school that matches your career goals and budget.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"-mx-4 md:-mx-1\/2vw py-12 md:py-16 mt-12 md:my-16 relative md:left-1\/2 md:right-1\/2 md:w-screen bg-gray-50\">\n    <div class=\"container content\">\n        \r\n<h2>Popular Online MBA Programs<\/h2>\r\n<p>Learn about start dates, transferring credits, availability of financial aid, and more by contacting the universities below.<\/p>\r\n<sonic-editorial-listings limit=\"3\"><\/sonic-editorial-listings>\r\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\r\n\r\n\n  \n  \n  <a class=\"subnav-waypoint\" name=\"best-programs\" id=\"best-programs\"><\/a>\n\n\r\n<h2>Top Operations Management MBA Programs<\/h2>\r\n  \n    <section class=\"v3-rankings \" data-ranking=\"5b066b20-2d20-43f8-8c42-fe27ef13e50b\" data-title=\"\" data-preamp=\"rankings\" layout=\"v3\" data-cy=\"v3-rankings\" data-v3-rankings data-ranking-type=ranked data-ranking-title=The&#x20;Best&#x20;Online&#x20;MBA&#x20;Programs&#x20;&#x7C;&#x20;OnlineMBA>\n                                                            <p class=\"sponsored-disclosure\">\n                We use trusted sources like\n                                the National Center for Education Statistics to inform the data for these schools.\n                <sonic-tooltip label=\"Sponsored results\">OnlineMBA.com is an advertising-supported site.

But what will you study during an operations management MBA? <\/p>\r\n<p>First, you&rsquo;ll build a foundation in your core MBA classes, which emphasize data analysis, business communications, and strategic decision-making. Then, you&rsquo;ll apply these skills in operations management courses that focus on business processes, managerial decision modeling, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinemba.com\/mba-careers\/supply-chain-management-programs\/\">supply chain management<\/a>. <\/p>\r\n<p>You&rsquo;ll typically spend around two years in business school, with the first year focused on core classes and the second year focused on your concentration. Many MBA programs conclude with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinemba.com\/resources\/capstone-guide\/\">capstone project<\/a>. <\/p>\r\n<p>When choosing an operations management MBA program, check for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinemba.com\/resources\/what-is-accreditation\/\">business school accreditation<\/a>. The best business schools are accredited.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Degree and Format Options<\/h3>\r\n<p>In addition to operations management, business schools offer several related MBA concentrations. You can specialize in operations or supply chain management, which emphasize many of the same skills. Or you can consider a related area such as management or project management. <\/p>\r\n<p>When comparing MBA programs, you&rsquo;ll need to consider which degree and format options best fit your schedule. Common options include:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>Online vs. in-person vs. hybrid:<\/strong> You can earn your MBA in a fully online, hybrid, or in-person format. Consider which delivery method works best for your learning style and schedule. Busy students often prefer the flexibility of online classes.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Asynchronous vs. synchronous:<\/strong> Online courses may meet at scheduled times where classmates interact with professors, also known as a synchronous format. Other online classes use an asynchronous format, where you complete coursework on your schedule with no set meeting times. <\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Accelerated:<\/strong> Many business schools offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinemba.com\/rankings\/accelerated-online-mba\/\">accelerated MBA programs<\/a>, which can take as little as one year to complete. These accelerated programs help you enter the workforce faster, but they require more intensive learning.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<h3>Admissions Process<\/h3>\r\n<p>MBA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinemba.com\/guide\/online-mba-admissions\/\">admissions are often competitive<\/a>. How can you stand out from other applicants? By showcasing your strengths, you can improve your chances of getting in. Consider focusing on the following areas:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>Academic record:<\/strong> You&rsquo;ll need a bachelor&rsquo;s degree to get into business school. A high GPA can also help you stand out.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Standardized tests:<\/strong> Many MBA programs require either GMAT or GRE scores. Make sure to check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinemba.com\/resources\/gmat-guide\/\">GMAT study advice<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinemba.com\/resources\/gre-guide\/\">GRE study tips<\/a> to maximize your score. <\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Experience:<\/strong> Some MBA programs recommend or require professional experience. Include internships and volunteer experience. <\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Carefully review the application process and requirements for different business schools to avoid missing deadlines. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"border-l-2 px-2 md:px-0.5 my-6 md:ml-4\" style=\"border-left-color: #a70032\">\r\n<p class=\"text-heading font-heading font-medium\">Read More<br>\r\n<span class=\"font-body font-bold\"><a href=\"\/guide\/online-mba-admissions\/\">Review our admissions guide for MBA programs<\/a><sonic-icon icon=\"chevron-right\" size=\"small\" color=\"secondary-700\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><\/sonic-icon><\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<h3>Popular Courses<\/h3>\r\n<p>During your MBA program, you&rsquo;ll take core business classes in marketing, finance, accounting, and management. You&rsquo;ll also complete organizational management courses to focus your course of study. Many programs conclude with a capstone project with real-world applications. <\/p>\r\n<p>While each MBA in operations management program sets its own curriculum, common courses include:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong class=\"bg-tertiary-50\">Strategic Decision Making:<\/strong> Learn how to approach complex problems and evaluate your available options to make an informed decision. The course may cover analytical tools, decision models, and risk analysis to improve your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinemba.com\/rankings\/best-online-mba\/strategy\/\">leadership and decision-making skills<\/a>. <\/li>\r\n<li><strong class=\"bg-tertiary-50\">Service Operations Management:<\/strong> Assess challenges in service delivery, focusing on designing and improving service-oriented organizations. In addition to operations management, you will draw on marketing strategy and consumer behavior to prepare for leading roles in service organizations. <\/li>\r\n<li><strong class=\"bg-tertiary-50\">Supply Chain Strategy:<\/strong> Examine the strategic design of supply chains, including methods to improve efficiency. Case studies will explore how information flow and design can influence the supply chain and shape businesses. <\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n  \n  \n  <a class=\"subnav-waypoint\" name=\"cost\" id=\"cost\"><\/a>\n\n\r\n<h2>How Much Do the Best MBAs in Operations Management Cost?<\/h2>\r\n<p>The cost of an MBA varies widely, with the most expensive programs costing $100,000 or more in tuition. Even online MBA programs, which are often more flexible, can be very expensive.

Choosing an online delivery format also makes it easier to compare costs to find the most affordable MBA program.<\/p>\r\n<p>You can also use financial aid, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinemba.com\/resources\/fafsa-guide\/\">federal aid through the FAFSA<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinemba.com\/resources\/mba-scholarships\/\">business school scholarships<\/a> to cover costs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\n<div class=\"sonic-interlink duration-500 flex hover:shadow-lg bg-primary-700 \">\n    <a\n        target=\"_self\"\n        href=\"\/rankings\/affordable-online-mba\/\"\n        class=\"flex items-center p-8 relative rounded w-full transition-opacity duration-500 hover:opacity-75\">\n                <span class=\"text-white block w-full\">\n          <span class=\"interlink-content flex justify-between items-center\">\n            <div>\n                                                <span class=\"title leading-snug\">Check out the top affordable online MBAs<\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n            <sonic-icon class=\"ml-3 md:ml-0\" icon=\"arrow-circle-right\" size=\"small\" color=\"#fff\"><\/sonic-icon>\n          <\/span>\n        <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n  \n  \n  <a class=\"subnav-waypoint\" name=\"operations-management-vs-general\" id=\"operations-management-vs-general\"><\/a>\n\n\r\n<h2>Should You Get an Operations Management MBA or a General MBA?<\/h2>\r\n<p>Should you earn your MBA in operations management or pursue a general MBA?
