A Closer Look at the Recent U.S. News FT MBA Ranking

Our full-time MBA program recently came in at #81 on this year’s 2023-24 Best Business Schools list by U.S. News & World Report. Here’s a closer look at the numbers:

• In just four years, our program has made remarkable strides. #81 this year, up from #98, #110 and not ranked in the previous three years.
• We surpassed nationally recognized universities such as Temple, UMass, Pitt, LSU, and Clemson.
• Our program has achieved an outstanding position of #7 among public institutions offering a FT one-year MBA program.
• Being the highest ranked one-year MBA program among institutions that exclusively offer this format, we have the unique advantage of concentrating our efforts on providing a purposeful and intentional experience for our students.
• Our program is ranked #1 for job placement within three months after graduation, making us a preferred program for those seeking rapid and impactful employment outcomes.
• With an ROI (average starting salary divided by tuition) higher than 2.5, our program joins the ranks of only 5 nationally ranked programs to achieve such exceptional returns on investment.
• We continue to be more competitive and selective. The percentage of students we accept has declined by over 40% in the last four years. We have a lower acceptance rate than Georgetown, Case Western, William & Mary and Boston College.
• Another indicator of cohort quality is undergraduate GPA. We have consistently raised our undergraduate GPA to an impressive 3.5, aligning us with esteemed institutions like UVA, Duke, Michigan, and Florida.
