Goizueta rankings climb
Goizueta Business School advanced another slot to number
eighteen among 391 accredited full-time MBA programs surveyed in the 2006
edition of U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s
Best Graduate Schools.”
Goizueta Business School’s Evening MBA Program is ranked number fifteen
among part-time programs. The W. Cliff Oxford Executive MBA captured the
number ten position; the program also ranks number ten in BusinessWeek.
“Being recognized by our peer schools and by corporate recruiters
is very rewarding,” says Interim Dean Maryam
Alavi. “Positive movement in the rankings confirms that
our strategic direction is on target, and it is a good boost for the school’s
momentum.”
U.S. News & World Report rankings are based on two types of
data: expert opinion about program quality, and statistical indicators
that measure the quality of a school’s faculty, research, and students.
Last fall, U.S. News asked business school deans and directors
of accredited MBA programs to rate overall academic quality of the master’s
programs at each school. Corporate recruiters and company contacts that
hired MBA graduates from previously ranked programs also were asked to
rate the programs.
