Troy University’s Sorrell College of Business has been singled out by Fortune Recommends as one of the top 100 full-time Master of Business Administration degree programs in the nation.

Fortune Recommends, the product review arm of Fortune, published its fourth annual edition of the MBA ranking on Monday, Sept. 9 and comes at a time when demand for continuing education is growing as individuals seek to learn in-demand skills, like AI and data analysis, in a business context. 

“We are very honored to be included in the Fortune Recommends Top 100 MBA Programs for 2025. The Sorrell College MBA program is consistently recognized for its high-quality, affordability, and innovative curriculum—all of these positive factors result from the hard work of our faculty to ensure industry engagement and their focus on continuous improvement in all areas of the college,” said Sorrell College Dean Dr. Judson Edwards.

For this year’s ranking, the Fortune team analyzed data from nearly 100 MBA programs and considered 11 key ranking factors, including base salaries of recent graduates, cost of tuition, graduation rates, and the number of MBA alumni now serving in Fortune 1000 C-suite positions.  

“Obtaining an MBA is essential for becoming an effective business leader. Our data show that 90% of graduates from the top 10 MBA programs got jobs within three months of graduation—with average salaries of over $175,000,” said Fortune CEO Anatasia Nyrkovskaya. “Rankings like this one prove that Fortune is here to help our readers with authoritative insights.”
