Two years after debuting its Online MBA program, the Santa Clara University Leavey School of Business‘ offering earned a top 25 spot in the newest Princeton Review ranking.
On the news of school’s spot in the rankings, Dean Caryn Beck-Dudley said, “I am excited to be leading an exceptional academic institution whose innovative and entrepreneurial offerings prepare our students to go anywhere from here. At the Leavey School of Business, we collaborate with the most brilliant minds in entrepreneurship, ethics, innovation, and theory. And we do it all from the most prolific business environment on earth, Silicon Valley.”
Nydia MacGregor, Faculty Director of MBA and Online Programs, also adds: “We are extremely proud of this top showing so soon after we launched our Online MBA program. Credit goes to our innovative faculty and their hard work in developing content that gives students a rich and engaging experience all while having the flexibility of online education.”
One of the definitive advantages according to students in the program is its relative proximity to Silicon Valley, even though 95 percent of the program is delivered online. One students notes, “a tech focus interwoven into the MBA program, or those who want to work in the SF Bay Area, [tech] is unofficially required.”
