“I’m always proud when the high-quality work of our faculty and staff and great outcomes for our students are recognized nationally and beyond,” said Dean Ben Ayers. “While we focus on delivering an exceptional education and great opportunities for our students, it is great to see upward momentum across a number of measures that directly reflect the world-class faculty, staff and students that make up this college.”
The annual ranking of business programs is based on a reputational survey of deans and senior faculty at peer institutions.
