Recently, many lists recognizing top-merited institutions of higher education have included Marist College and its subdivisions. The School of Management is the latest school to be honored, among the best business schools in the entire nation for the second year in a row. The Princeton Review featured Marist in the newest edition of its college ratings guide, Best 237 Business Schools (2006 Edition), which is now in bookstores.
The Princeton Review helps prospective students in their search for the perfect school. To help in the decision-making process, it surveys students attending the schools and report what they say about their experiences. The profiles and ranking lists of top schools are based on the data collected from school administrators and students at the school.
In a press release, vice president of publishing at the Princeton Review Robert Franek said, "Every school we profile in this book offers a terrific MBA education, yet each one is distinctive in its academic programs, school offerings, and campus culture."
The 2005 edition of the Princeton Review says that Marist "serves up a solidly designed degree that provides a broad-based coverage of business to a student body that has a wide range of backgrounds and levels of managerial experience."
The School of Management is one of 300 business schools in the country to have its undergraduate and graduate business programs fully accredited by the Association to Advance College Schools of Business, making it eligible for the Princeton Review.
The recognition of the Princeton Review is sure to help students with degrees in business and business administration from the college, said Joanne Gavin, professor of management at Marist, as it increases the prestige of an already well-respected degree.
"This accreditation alone puts a business school on a different level of distinction," Gavin said. "People with knowledge in the business world, who are hiring will look more favorably at a Marist degree that is praised by the Princeton Review."
