Radford University has launched an online delivery for their MBA program, school officials announced.

This initiative will make higher education even more accessible for students who wish to secure their master's degree in approximately two years. Radford's MBA program is AACSB accredited, which represents the highest standards for business schools. In fact, only 5 percent of business programs globally are able to secure this accreditation.

"The online delivery of the MBA we offer at Radford will be very attractive to ambitious young professionals looking for a competitive advantage as they seek for ways to advance their careers." George Low, dean of Radford University's College of Business and Economics, said in a statement. "Our MBA program focuses on analytics and innovation which provides our students with a marketable advantage over their peers in this global economy."

School officials said students who are balancing work and/or family can appreciate the online delivery, which offers affordability, convenience and flexibility.

Radford University has been named one of the best business schools in the United States by The Princeton Review for the last four consecutive years (2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015), and offers one of the most competitively priced MBA Programs in Virginia.
