The Wayne State University School of Business Administration has joined an elite list of schools in the book Best 290 Business Schools, published by The Princeton Review. Wayne State will be included in the 2008 edition of the book, available in bookstores Oct. 9.
“We may be one of the best kept secrets in Michigan,” observed Richard Gabrys, dean of the business school. He pointed out that more than 30,000 professionals, most of whom work in Southeast Michigan, earned their business degrees at Wayne State. “Our graduates are at work in the corporate offices of nearly every major company in the Detroit area, many in top management positions,” he said. “Others are with government agencies and tax exempt organizations or are entrepreneurs heading their own companies. Several faculty members are nationally and internationally known in their field, and our new Ph.D. program, which starts in September, will help address a looming national shortage of business faculty with doctoral degrees.”
Schools are selected for the book based on quality of their academic programs and other offerings, institutional data collected by the publisher and the opinions of students.
“We are very pleased to add the Wayne State University School of Business Administration to our book this year and to recommend it to our readers and users of our website as one of the best institutions they could attend to earn an MBA,” said Robert Franek, vice president/publisher of The Princeton Review.
Best 290 Business Schools includes two-page profiles of each school with information on their academics, student life and admissions. Also included are ratings of academics, selectivity and career placement services. Schools are not ranked by number, nor does the publication name a best school overall.
The book is published by Random House/Princeton Review Books. The Princeton Review also is known for its test preparation courses and other admission and K-12 services.
Wayne State University is a premier institution of higher education offering more than 350 academic programs through 11 schools and colleges to 33,000 students.
