The Princeton Review has once again named the Clark University School of Business (CUSB) one of the nation’s outstanding business schools. The education services company profiles the school in its Best Business Schools for 2027 rankings, and includes CUSB’s on-campus Master of Business Administration as one of the best in the country.
CUSB also appears at No. 6 on the national ranking of schools with the Most Competitive Students, based on MBA student ratings of how competitive their classmates are, how heavy the workload is, and the perceived academic pressure at their school.
Unlike traditional rankings, The Princeton Review does not assign an overall hierarchical ranking. Instead, the organization highlights schools that demonstrate distinction in specific areas through 18 category-based Top 10 rankings.
With only 61 of the 208 recognized schools appearing on one or more of the Top 10 category lists, CUSB’s No. 6 ranking for Most Competitive Students represents a notable distinction.
“The Princeton Review recognition reflects the commitment of our faculty, staff, and students to creating a challenging and collaborative MBA experience,” said Jing Zhang, dean of the Clark University School of Business. “We are especially proud of our students earning a #6 national ranking for Most Competitive Students, a distinction that reflects their drive to excel, support one another, and engage deeply in their learning.”
The Best Business Schools for 2027 selections were based on data collected during the 2025–26 academic year from surveys of administrators at 439 business schools and 37,600 students enrolled in the schools’ MBA programs. More than 60 data points were considered, including academics, faculty, admissions, career services, technology, student experiences, and career plans.
