Eastern Michigan University’s College of Business was ranked among the nation’s top business schools for the 11th consecutive year in the Princeton Review’s listing. Eastern is featured in the new 2015 edition of its’ book “The Best 296 Business Schools.”
The rankings are based on surveys from students, as well as school-reported data. This means that there isn’t necessarily a school that ranks number one.
“We chose the 296 schools we profile in this book based on our high regard for their academic programs and our reviews of institutional data we collect from the schools,” said Robert Franek, Princeton Review senior vice president publisher. “We also solicit and greatly respect the opinions of students attending these schools, who rate and report on their experiences at them on our 80-question student survey for the book.”
The book includes comments about EMU’s COB, such as:
Much of the success that Eastern’s College of Business experiences is due to its excellent and diverse group of educators.
Almost 98 percent of COB faculty members hold the highest possible degree in their field, and many of them are frequently recognized for their outstanding teaching excellence at the department, college and university levels.
With more than 30 percent of the staff being born outside the U.S., students get a world outlook that is vital to escalation in the business world.
COB faculty also mentor students and assist them in connecting with successful business people from EMU’s business partners, allowing them the opportunity to build relationships with important professionals who can provide references and additional networking.
The distinctive and innovative curriculum at EMU’s College of Business also plays a key role in the school’s success. The COB effectively provides students with the skills and experience necessary to be business leaders in the global business environment through the programs it offers.
Many COB programs interact with the business community, which allows students to gain real-world experience with current issues in the business world. There are also numerous programs that have an international component, helping students better understand the global economy.
The COB also offers graduate programs that are suitable for students to take at any stage in their career, full-time or part-time. Online courses are also available, as well as hybrid online/in-class courses. The COB has nearly 2,400 undergraduate students pursuing one of 13 bachelor degree majors and more than 740 graduate students pursuing one of six Master’s degrees.
“Eastern’s College of Business is full of highly energetic professors and several opportunities to get help outside of the classrooms,” said Kaitlyn Price, a COB student.
