The MBA program is listed as one of the nation’s best in Princeton Review’s 2008 business school guidebook.
The New York-based education services company lists the College of Business MBA among the nation’s “Best 290 Business Schools” in its recently published business edition. The listing is based on surveys of 19,000 students attending the 290 schools, and on school-reported data.
“Best 290 Business Schools” includes two-page profiles of each school or program, with information about academics, student life and admissions, and ratings for academics, selectivity and career placement services.
“We chose schools based on our high regard for their academic programs and offerings, institutional data we collect from the schools, and the candid opinions of students,” said Robert Franek, Princeton Review’s vice president for publishing. “We are pleased to recommend Minnesota State University, Mankato to readers of our book and users of our website as one of the best institutions they could attend to earn an MBA.”
The publication says College of Business MBA students “love Mankato,” and appreciate their friendly fellow students and smart classrooms.
“The most attractive part of the program was the class schedule,” one student said. Minnesota State Mankato’s MBA schedule divides each semester into two eight-week modules, providing working MBA students with maximum flexibility.
“MBAs here can take one or two classes per module, and they can skip a module entirely when necessary without losing too much ground,” the Princeton Review says.
An executive lecture series lets students learn from and interact with top executives. In addition, students told the Review that “class sizes are just great, and the level of feedback from the professors and from the other students’ insights really makes a difference.”
Marilyn L. Fox and Kevin Elliott, co-directors of the MBA program, point out that “the program emphasizes critical and strategic thinking, developing managerial skills, real-world applications, ethics and leadership taught in a technologically advanced, active learning environment. Students feel well prepared to handle problems, situations and changes that are currently affecting businesses today.”
