We chose the 294 business schools in this book based on our high 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."

In the Princeton Review’s profile of UMass Boston’s College of Management, editors describe its programs as “accommodating to working professionals.” 

“Full-time and part-time students take classes together” in the evening, and the academic experience is “challenging but manageable while balancing a career and home life.”  Students appreciate the ‘highly diverse course work’ offered at UMass Boston, including electives in non-profit management, environmental management, information systems, and healthcare management.”  Students also say the program offers “a quality education at a good price.”
