Report: Lindner MBA ranks among best in the nation
Lindner only regional school to make U.S. News & World Report's list of top full-time MBA programs
The MBA program at the University of Cincinnati’s Carl H. Lindner College of Business was once again ranked among the best in the nation according to U.S. News & World Report's recently released list of the top business schools.
Recognized for its academic excellence, Lindner’s full-time MBA was the only school in the Tristate to make this year’s list and the second-highest ranked public program in the state of Ohio (No. 97 overall). The part-time MBA program was ranked third in Ohio among public institutions and No. 109 overall.
“Our focus is preparing students to tackle real-world business challenges and be innovative leaders in their respective fields,” says Suzanne Masterson, interim associate dean of graduate programs at the Lindner College of Business. “This recognition is a testament to our faculty, who are always enhancing the learning experience for our students.”
This year’s U.S. News & World Report full-time MBA ranking methodology is based on survey data collected from nearly 400 programs accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International. Schools are ranked according to their performance across a set of widely accepted indicators of excellence, such as quality, placement success and student selectivity.
Last year's MBA cohort
This recent accolade is accompanied by several other impressive rankings honors for Lindner’s MBA program. According to Bloomberg Businessweek’s 2018 rankings list, Lindner’s full-time MBA program placed first in Ohio and fourth in the Midwest for learning among public institutions, as well as No. 5 in the Midwest for entrepreneurship, No. 8 for networking and No. 37 overall among national public universities.
