U.S. News ranks professional school programs in business, education, engineering, law and medicine. The rankings are based on two types of data: expert opinions about program excellence and statistical indicators that measure the quality of a school’s faculty, research and students. The data come from surveys sent out to administrators from more than 1,350 programs and more than 13,500 academics and professionals, conducted during the fall of 2014 and early 2015.
The Full-Time MBA at Zicklin is built around a cohort of students admitted in the fall. The program is designed to be completed in four semesters, or 22 months. It is optimal for those who have the drive and commitment to change careers, whether moving from one industry to a completely new one, or moving into a new functional area within an industry.
The Flexible MBA or Part-Time MBA program gives students the opportunity to vary the number of courses and credits taken each semester depending upon personal and professional circumstances. On average, students can complete the program in three to four years.
The Baruch Healthcare MBA is dedicated to the graduate business education of practicing professionals in the healthcare industry. The Program, which is the only one of its kind in the metro New York City region, is accredited by both CAHME and AACSB, seeks to advance student knowledge in essential business disciplines and to instruct students in the application of this knowledge to managerial issues in healthcare.
