Drucker’s Flex MBA Ranked Among Top Part-Time MBA Programs in Southern California

The Drucker School continues to shine bright at a national level. U.S. News & World Report’s most recent “Best Part-Time MBA Programs” rankings saw Drucker’s Flex MBA program climb 21 spots to number 80. The program is now recognized among the top 10 part-time MBA programs in Southern California, reinforcing its reputation as a solid flexible choice for working professionals.

What sets the Drucker Flex MBA apart? Flexibility without compromise. Students can complete the program in a hybrid format with a mix of online and in-person courses — or entirely online. With evening and weekend options, customizable concentrations, and a tight-knit learning community, students build an MBA that fits their schedule, goals, and lifestyle.

“This program is built for people who are already leading — and want to lead even more effectively,” said Dave Sprott, dean of the Drucker School. “Whether you’re advancing in your current role or preparing for a new chapter, the Flex MBA gives you the tools to grow, without asking you to put your life on hold. It’s an MBA rooted in real-world relevance and human-centered management.”

That approach resonates with students like Gabriel Esqueda (Flex MBA 2024), who completed the program while balancing professional and personal commitments.

“The Drucker School was a perfect fit that adapted to my needs,” said Esqueda. “It offered a flexible, supportive environment where I could thrive without sacrificing personal or professional commitments.”

U.S. News & World Report rankings are based on peer assessments, student qualifications, and the professional experience of incoming students. The 21-place rise in ranking signals growing recognition of Drucker’s distinctive approach to business education—one that emphasizes both rigor and relevance.

The Drucker School was also named one of the top 10 business schools in Southern California overall, highlighting the impact of its full portfolio of MBA and management programs.
