SCU’s Part-Time MBA Program Ranked Top 40
SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 20, 2018 — The part-time Master of Business Administration program at Santa Clara University’s Leavey School of Business (LSB) ranked No. 39 in the 2019 U.S. News & World Report Best Graduate Schools rankings. The program, coming in 2nd in the Bay Area, was among the top 14 percent of the 279 part-time programs eligible for the ranking.
In this year’s ranking, LSB rose significantly in “peer assessment,” which is a heavily weighted factor reflecting evaluations by deans and other leaders in business education.
“It’s great to see that deans from across the U.S. are recognizing how strong and innovative our graduate programs are,” said Toby McChesney, senior assistant dean of Graduate Business Programs.
The ranking also placed LSB in the top 25 for its program in finance, and the top 10 in information systems—making it the only school in the top 10 that does not have a Ph.D. program in IS.
“We are tremendously proud that our hard work leveraging the assets of our school —our Silicon Valley network of leaders, our world-class faculty, and students who bring experience to the classroom — is being recognized by our peers and by national rankings,” said Caryn Beck-Dudley, dean of LSB.
