PULLMAN, Wash. Washington State University has an outstanding business school, according to The Princeton Review. The education services company features the school in the new 2010 edition of its book, “The Best 301 Business Schools.”
According to Robert Franek, Princeton Review senior VP-publishing, “We are pleased to recommend Washington State 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.”
“The Best 301 Business Schools: 2010 Edition” has two-page profiles of the schools with write-ups on their academics, student life and admissions, plus ratings for their academics, selectivity and career placement services. In the profile on WSU, the Princeton Review editors describe the school as having: “gained a strong national reputation for its ‘fantastic’ study environment and ‘relatively low tuition’.” They quote from students attending WSU who say “The quality of [the] faculty is by far the biggest asset.”
In a “Survey Says . . .” sidebar in the profile, The Princeton Review lists topics that WSU students it surveyed were in most agreement about. The list includes: “good peer network; smart classrooms; and solid preparation in: accounting, general management, and teamwork.” 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.
