Of the 437 b-schools and programs surveyed, the Zicklin School’s MBA program ranked #2. Class of 2011 MBA graduates had an annual salary–to–debt ratio of 5.5:1.
Baruch’s School of Public Affairs (SPA) was also recognized for overall value—ranking at #46, up 11 spots from a 2008 ranking of #57. Additionally, SPA received high marks for its MPA specialization in nonprofit management, debuting at #21.
Said SPA Dean David Birdsell, “I am delighted to see that others across the nation recognize SPA’s quality and special strength in nonprofit management. We simply couldn’t ask for a more accomplished faculty or more talented students. I look forward to even more movement in future USNWR rankings.”
