Questrom EMBA Ranked No. 1 in New England
The Executive MBA program at Boston University’s Questrom School of Business has been ranked no. 1 in New England by The Economist. The program was also ranked no. 49 in the country by the same publication. These rankings are the second of the bi-annual rankings of EMBA programs done by The Economist. The Economist ranks programs on personal development/educational experience and career development.
In order to complete the rankings, schools with EMBA programs classified their own programs as EMBA. A program can be classified as an Executive MBA program if it is a part-time program that is designed for students who have significantly more work experience than those who are completing their full-time MBAs.
The rankings were based on data that was collected through web-based surveys. One questionnaire was filled out by business schools. These surveys included questions on the details of students and faculty, the number of overseas assignments required and statistics on alumni. The second survey was given to current students and alumni from the last three graduating classes of the surveyed schools. Seven thousand questionnaires were completed.
The Executive MBA program at the Questrom School of Business is an 18-month part-time program that begins in January. Students in the program have an average of 15 years of work experience and 9 years of managerial experience. The EMBA program at Questrom is focused around five different modules. The modules cover topics that range from financial accounting, marketing and data analysis to business law and ethics, technology, international business and entrepreneurship. The program also features case discussions, team-based learning and an international residential session.

According to a press release on the George Mason School of Business website, the school’s online Master of Business Administration program tied at No. 31 for best online MBA program for Veterans. This survey of online programs for veterans profiled 737 different universities and colleges.

The rankings, compiled by U.S. News & World Report, were determined by examining: Affordability, accessibility, reputation, how much financial assistance is available, which federal aid programs the schools recognize, and faculty credentials.
“Mason values the experience and diversity veterans bring to both the campus and online environment,” said Jennifer Connors, director of Mason’s Office of Military Services. “We are committed to creating a pathway to success for our student veterans.”
GIJobs.com has also named Mason a “Military Friendly” school for the past six years thanks to the school’s commitment to supporting student veterans on campus and in their careers: Mason, with almost 34,000 students, has more than 3,000 military-related students, including active duty, veterans, reservists, guardsmen and dependents.
