The latest ranking comes on the heels of two previous rankings this year, as the School of Business was ranked No. 96  among the 2024-2025 Best Business Schools – Full-Time MBA Programs by U.S. News & World Report, and The Princeton Review included the on-campus MBA program on its list of Best Business Schools for 2024.

“We are pleased Fortune has recognized our MBA program again this year,” said David Jordan, dean of the School of Business. “Our program continues to grow and gain in popularity, and we are continually seeking ways to expand our curriculum to include the latest in-demand skills and emerging fields. I am particularly proud of the passion, initiative and commitment of our business students, faculty and staff, as well as our successful alumni.”
