Clemson MBA program among nation’s best in Princeton Review guide
CLEMSON – The MBA program at Clemson University appears among the best in the country in Princeton Review’s “Best 290 Business Schools.”
The university’s MBA program has a two-page profile in the guide, which outlines academics, admissions, financial aid, campus life and career information. Included in the profile is a story by Princeton Review editors that reads: “Native South Carolinians will have a hard time beating the ratio of value to quality that they’ll find at Clemson University… Palmetto State residents can earn a highly regarded business degree for a small fraction of what their peers elsewhere in the country spend.”
Clemson’s MBA students say they receive strong preparation in marketing, communication skills and quantitative skills. They praise the reputation the professors and school have throughout the Southeast.
“We know our MBA students receive a quality education and have a positive graduate experience at Clemson,” said Caron St. John, director of the MBA program and interim associate dean of the College of Business and Behavioral Science. “It is reassuring to see our reputation grow and receive national praise.”
Claude Lilly, dean of the college, said great work is being done in the college.
“Educators, students and businesses now realize that the college has an outstanding program that produces students with the ability to think critically,” he said. “The faculty, staff and students in the college all have a commitment to excellence that is moving the college forward.”
Over the course of a three-year survey cycle, Princeton Review collected the opinions of students at the best Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business-accredited MBA programs and gathered statistical information on many more in order to give readers the widest possible base of information for selecting the right business school for them. The "Best 290 Business Schools" is on newstands now.
