The College of Management at the University of Massachusetts Boston is an outstanding business school, according to The Princeton Review. The education services company features the school in the new 2010 edition of its book, The Best 301 Business Schools (Random House / Princeton Review).
“We are pleased to recommend UMass Boston’s College of Management to readers of our book and users of our site, www.PrincetonReview.com, as one of the best institutions they could attend to earn an MBA,” said Robert Franek, Princeton Review senior vice president for publishing. “We chose the 301 business schools in this book based on our opinion of their academic programs and offerings, as well as our review of institutional data we collect from the schools. We also strongly consider the candid opinions of students attending the schools who rate and report on their campus experiences at their schools on our survey for the book."
The Princeton Review does not rank the business schools in the book on a single hierarchical list, or name one business school best overall. The Princeton Review's 80-question survey for the book asked students about themselves, their career plans, and their schools’ academics, student body and campus life.
“Students report that UMass Boston boasts ‘strong’ human resources and information technology concentrations as well as ‘a strong accounting program with lots of accounting firms who recruit here,’” according to the report. “The school also offers ‘a tremendous international program focusing on leadership, integrity, and diplomacy.’”
"Recognition in The Princeton Review’s Best Business Schools is an important indicator of our growing stature and impact,” said College of Management Dean Philip L. Quaglieri. “Our strategy is to become one of the nation's top public metropolitan business schools, not just for the public relations, but because our students warrant the value represented by the recognition. We have an outstanding faculty and staff here at the college, and they continually push forward the success of our students and the overall quality of our programs.”
