Illinois State University ‘s College of Business is once again one of the best choices for earning an MBA, according to the 2008 edition of Best 290 Business Schools, published by Princeton Review.
Inclusion in Best 290 Business Schools highlights the quality of Illinois State ‘s MBA program, which is one of 290 of the best AACSB-accredited MBA programs in the world. There are over 500 MBA programs in the world accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). “With more than 1,500 business schools offering MBA programs worldwide, we rank within the top 20 percent. More importantly the quality of our program is proven by the increasing number of successful alumni locally, nationally, and internationally,” said College of Business MBA Director S.J. Chang.
Illinois State MBA students cited that they appreciate the “big university resources with a small classroom focus” that they find in the College of Business. Students surveyed also cited the personalized attention by faculty, strong networking with local and regional corporations, career placement services and the new, state-of-the-art College of Business Building as being major selling points for the MBA program.
Illinois State ‘s MBA program averages around 200 students, approximately three-fourths of whom are employed full-time and are taking evening classes to complete their degree. Although most of the students are drawn from around Central Illinois, about 15 percent of the students in the program are international.
Best 290 Business Schools is one of more than 200 Princeton Review books published by Random House. The line includes guides to the best colleges, law schools, medical schools and guides to college and graduate school admission exams. For more information visit www.princetonreview.com/mba.
