YPSILANTI – Eastern Michigan University's College of Business has been ranked one of the nation’s best graduate business schools for the 17th consecutive year, according to The Princeton Review.
The education services company profiles Eastern in its recently reported list, "Best Business Schools for 2021." The Princeton Review posted the list this week at the special Princeton Review website for top business schools.
The EMU College of Business seeks to support the economic development of southeastern Michigan by preparing its graduates to perform effectively in the global business community. Its stated mission is to develop outstanding business professionals through a rigorous, applied educational experience.
“This important recognition by The Princeton Review, our 17th consecutive such listing, underscores that our outstanding faculty members are continuing to provide an exceptional, real-world and highly focused education to our students, who are graduating and then flourishing in careers in a variety of high-demand areas," said Kenneth Lord, dean of EMU's College of Business.
Student surveys play role in rankings
The Princeton Review bases its rankings of business schools on school-reported data along with feedback from students. The Review surveyed thousands of students attending the 244 business schools listed. The Review does not rank the business schools on a single hierarchical list from 1 to 244.
The Princeton Review's survey asked students at the b-schools about their school's academics, student body, and campus life as well as about themselves and their career plans. The student surveys that were used for this edition were completed online and conducted over the past four years.
