GSOM featured in Princeton Review's 'Best 301 Business Schools: 2010'
The Graduate School of Management (GSOM) at Clark University is among the outstanding business schools recognized in The Princeton Review's 2010 edition of its book, "The Best 301 Business Schools" (Random House / Princeton Review), which went on sale Tuesday, Oct. 6.
According to Robert Franek, Princeton Review Senior VP-Publishing, "We are pleased to recommend the Graduate School of Management at Clark University to readers of our book and users of our site, www.PrincetonReview.com, as one of the best institutions they could attend to earn an MBA. We chose the 301 business schools in this book based on our 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."
GSOM's Dean, Ed Ottensmeyer, notes "In addition to world class business skills, Clark MBA students graduate with a rich global perspective and a deepened awareness of social and environmental issues. Our new MBA in Social Change underscores the School's commitment to shaping principled leaders for an increasingly interdependent world economy, as do our new MBA/MA programs in community development and environmental policy."
The profile includes quotes by GSOM students, who say, "the classes are challenging, very interactive, and they give us plenty of opportunity to practice skills, critical decision-making, and business interactions. [Professors here] are accessible for concerns or guidance [and are] extremely accommodating and willing to take the time to make sure that we all succeed."
In a "Survey Says ..." sidebar in the profile, The Princeton Review lists topics that Clark GSOM students it surveyed were in most agreement about. The list includes: "friendly students and solid preparation in finance, general management, teamwork, communication/interpersonal skills, and doing business in a global economy." The Princeton Review's 80-question survey for the book asked students about themselves, their career plans, and their schools' academics, student body and campus life.
"The Best 301 Business Schools: 2010 Edition" also has advice on applying to business schools and funding the degree. It is one of 165 Princeton Review books published by Random House.
