UNC Charlotte MBA featured in Princeton Review's Best

Sunday, October 15, 2006

UNC Charlotte's M.B.A. program has been featured in The Princeton Review's 2007 edition of its “Best 282 Business Schools.”

According to Robert Franek, Princeton Review VP-Publishing, "We chose schools for this book based on our high regard for their academic programs and offerings, institutional data we collect from the schools, and the candid opinions of students attending them who rate and report on their campus experiences at the schools. We are pleased to recommend UNC Charlotte to readers of our book and users of our website as one of the best institutions they could attend to earn an M.B.A.."

“Best 282 Business Schools” has two-page profiles of the schools with write-ups on their academics, student life and admissions, plus ratings for their academics, selectivity and career placement services.

In a "Survey Says. . ." sidebar in the profile, The Princeton Review lists topics that UNC Charlotte M.B.A. students it surveyed for the book were in most agreement about. The list includes: "cutting-edge classes" and "happy students." The Princeton Review's 80-question survey asked students about themselves, their career plans, and their schools’ academics, student body and campus life.

The Princeton Review does not rank the schools in the book on a single hierarchical list from 1 to 282, or name one business school best overall. “Best 282 Business Schools” includes advice on applying to schools and funding the degrees.
