BusinessWeek Ranks Isenberg School’s Part-time MBA Program 5th in the Northeast and 29th in the Nation
Posted on November 28, 2007 by Jennifer Brady
The UMass Amherst Isenberg School of Management’s Part-time MBA program achieved rankings of 5th in the Northeast and 29th Nationally in BusinessWeek’s 2007 Top Part-Time MBA Programs rankings, released on November 1. Some 81 programs were evaluated in the rankings survey.
The Part-time MBA program, which includes over 900 students at sites in Holyoke, Shrewsbury, and Pittsfield as well as accessed online by students in all fifty states and internationally also received all “A’s” in the categories of Teaching Quality, Caliber of Classmates, and Curriculum. In the same survey, the Isenberg School program earned other distinctions: it placed 2nd with three other schools for the highest program completion rate by students, 4th in student satisfaction, and 8th in the percentage of tenured faculty teaching in a part-time program.
A comprehensive news release about the rankings process and the Isenberg School’s national and regional placement can be seen here at the UMass Amherst Isenberg School of Management site.
For additional information and insight into this important outcome and why the BusinessWeek survey is so highly valued for the factors it weighs and the sources it uses, you’re invited to tune in to this podcast. Hosted by me, Jennifer Brady, Director of Marketing for UMassOnline, it features a conversation with Eric Berkowitz, Associate Dean for Professional Programs at the UMass Amherst Isenberg School of Management.
