The Princeton Review named Cal State Long Beach’s Master Business Administration program one of the “Best 300 Business Schools” for the fifth year in a row, citing the program’s three schedule-based programs.
Because not every student has the same time availability, the College of Business Administration program offers three programs to correlate with students schedules: the Fully Employed, Self-Paced Evening and Accelerated MBA.
The Fully Employed program offers classes exclusively on Saturdays, allowing students who are full-time employees to pursue higher education.
The Self-Paced Evening program is geared for students who are either part-time, or full-time, allowing them to take evening classes.
The Accelerated MBA program is for students who want to finish their education quickly, allowing them to complete the program in a year.
The Princeton Review breaks down its list into 11 different categories, some of which include “Best Campus Facilities,” “Best Professors” or “Hardest to Get Into.” In each of these categories, the top 10 schools from the list of 300 are chosen.
Though CSULB is not among the top 10 in any category, dean of the College of Business Administration Michael Solt says he isn’t discouraged.
“Everyone who goes here knows what a great education they are getting,” Solt said.
According to Solt, CSULB would love to compete with bigger schools like Harvard, but that’s nearly impossible due to the difference in finances.
“Instead, we focus on making sure that we give our students what they want … the best education for their money and schedule,” he said.
According to senior editor of “The Guide,” Laura Braswell, The Princeton Review does not rank the top 300 for schools outside the 11 categories. It instead lists them alphabetically, with paid-for Featured Schools at the top of the list.
Students can find CSULB’s program listed at princetonreview.com or in an in-store edition of The Princeton Review.
