Each year, U.S. News & World Report ranks professional school programs in business, education, engineering, law, medicine and nursing, including specialties in each area. The data for the rankings in all six disciplines come from statistical surveys of more than 2,012 programs and from reputation surveys sent to more than 20,500 academics and professionals in fall 2017 and early 2018. Prospective students utilize the U.S. News & World Report website and rankings to augment their research of prospective schools and course offerings.
“Our Full-Time MBA has jumped 37 spots in the last two years,” said Jim Parrish, director of Full-Time and Online MBA Program at Harbert College of Business. “That improvement in ranking reflects an increase in grade point average and GMAT scores of accepted MBA candidates, as well as our graduates’ average starting salary and ability to find jobs upon completing the program.”
Associate Dean Stan Harris said, “These results demonstrate the that our efforts at continuous improvement are paying dividends and that students are being drawn to the quality of our MBA program and the wonderful return it offers on their investment of time, energy, and resources.”
