COB's part-time MBA program ranked second in state, among nation's best

The College of Business (COB) program is ranked second in the state of Michigan and 68 nationally.

This marks the first time UM-Dearborn’s part-time MBA program has been recognized by the publication, which uses results from alumni and current student surveys to compare programs. The university ranked 47 in the alumni survey, which focused on alumni feedback, compensation and job satisfaction.

“The alumni survey results reflect what we hear on a regular basis: UM-Dearborn’s part-time MBA program offers an innovative curriculum and creates the career opportunities our students need to be successful now and in the future,” said COB Dean Raju Balakrishnan. “To be recognized for this by Bloomberg Businessweek and to be included on a list with universities like Northwestern, University of Chicago, U-M Ann Arbor, UC-Berkeley and NYU is quite an accomplishment.”

The Bloomberg Businessweek ranking is one of several recognitions COB has received in the last year.

Last winter, U.S. News & World Report recognized UM-Dearborn’s part-time MBA program as one of the nation’s best for the sixth consecutive year. The publication also recognized COB for having the state’s top online MS business program and third-ranked online MBA program. The Princeton Review recently named the College of Business a “Best Business School” for the seventh consecutive year.
