UNC Charlotte among Princeton Review’s outstanding business schools

Wednesday, October 26, 2011

UNC Charlotte’s M.B.A. program is featured in The Princeton Review’s 2012 edition of "The Best 294 Business Schools."

"We recommend UNC Charlotte to readers of our book and users of our site, www.PrincetonReview.com, as one of the best institutions they could attend to earn an M.B.A.,” said Robert Franek, Princeton Review senior VP-publisher.

“We chose the 294 business schools in this book based on our high opinion of their academic programs and offerings, as well as our review of institutional data we collect from the schools. We also strongly consider the candid opinions of students attending the schools who rate and report on their campus experiences at their schools on our survey for the book."

The Princeton Review does not rank the business schools in the book on a single hierarchical list, or name one school best overall. "The Best 294 Business Schools: 2012 Edition" features two-page profiles of the schools with write-ups on academics, student life, and admissions, plus ratings for their academics, selectivity, and career placement services.

In the profile on UNC Charlotte, the Princeton Review editors describe the school as "offering great mentoring and career placement.” They also quote students attending UNC Charlotte, one of whom says, “The flexibility of the program allows you to customize your concentrations, so they are relative to your strengths and what you would like to do in a future career.”

In addition to the school listing, “The Best 294 Business Schools: 2012 Edition” contains advice on applying to business schools and funding a graduate degree.
