How records are made

Methodology

A listing is published only when an official source confirms an actual MBA, or a checked local equivalent, and online or hybrid delivery. Third-party directories are used to discover candidates, not as the fact source. This is not a completed census of the world.

Institution, business school, awarding body, and delivery partner are stored separately. Intake dates do not create a second program. Unknown facts stay null and are labeled “Not published” or “Not confirmed.” A missing fee is not treated as free, and silence about geography is not treated as worldwide eligibility.

Tuition is kept in the original currency and billing period. Per-credit, per-year, and per-course amounts are not multiplied into a fake total. No exchange-rate conversion is shown, because this build does not call a live rate source.

Accreditation is stored with a scope: institution, business school, program, degree authority, or membership. One body’s recognition is not copied onto a partner or a pathway. It is not a condition of inclusion.

The editorial pages are unranked selections of programs that publish a numeric fee as well as the award and the format. They are separate from sponsorship, and no sponsor relationship is invented.

The research register below is the working queue. A country with no verified row was not fully exhausted. Search notes that found nothing are recorded as gaps, not as proof of absence.
