UC Lindner's Part-Time MBA Program Receives First-Ever Bloomberg Businessweek Top 50 Ranking

For the first-time ever, the Lindner College of Business earned a place on 

Bloomberg Businessweek’s

list of the top 50 part-time MBA programs in the nation.

Bloomberg Businessweek

released its 2015 Best MBA programs list on Oct. 20, 2015, and ranked Lindner’s part-time MBA at No. 47 in the U.S and No. 22 among public programs.

Additionally,

Bloomberg Businessweek

once again ranked Lindner’s full-time MBA program among the top programs in the nation. The 2015 rankings placed the Lindner full-time MBA at No. 63 nationally and No. 31 among the country’s public full-time programs.

“Once again this top-tier ranking spotlights the quality of our academic programs and the quality of our graduates,” says Lindner College of Business Dean David M. Szymanski.

This year, Bloomberg Businessweek reworked its ranking methodology and as a result, its 2015 full-time rankings rely on five key factors: feedback from recruiters, students and MBA alumni as well as job placement rates and starting salaries for graduates. Bloomberg Businessweek’s 2015 part-time MBA rankings are based on the results of satisfaction surveys provided to MBA alumni and students.

These new

rankings following a string of accolades for the Lindner MBA programs. Recently, the Lindner MBA has earned the biggest rankings jump of any program in the country over the past two years in the

U.S. News & World Report

rankings. Additionally, last year the Lindner MBA was ranked the No. 1 best value MBA program in the country based on its academic quality, job placement success and tuition affordability by CollegeAtlas.org.
