I'm actually quite impressed as we are preceding schools such as USC-Marshall, UNC-Kenan-Flagler, UWisconsin, Thunderbird. It is quite interesting as I personally still believe we are mostly a "regional" school without a real international footprint. Again, quite impressed and happy about this.

Dear Merage School Community,
The 2011 Financial Times rankings of the top global 100 Full-Time MBA programs were released last week. I am delighted to announce that The Paul Merage School of Business ranked 27th in the U.S. up from 43 in 2010. While there are numerous variables that determine each publication's ranking and every survey uses different methodology, this is exciting news and an affirmation of the success of the initiatives we set into place over the last few years. I have outlined a few reasons for our rankings increase below, but I would also like to congratulate all of the Faculty and Staff in the Full-Time MBA program and the Career Center for their focused efforts over the past few years.
The biggest factor in this ranking is the average increase in salary pre-MBA to three years post-graduation. The Merage School rose from 65th in 2010 to 23rd globally and 11th in the U.S for 2011. Our strategy has been to work with our corporate partners to identify exactly what type of graduate will be most competitive in the job market; we then strategically admit students who will best meet those needs. We have also enhanced our curriculum with a keen eye toward strategic innovation and global competitiveness. In the process, our ranking of international mobility has risen from 88th in 2010 to 53rd globally and 8th in the U.S.
Finally, I would like to note that we tied for 9th in the U.S. for the percentage of faculty with a doctorate degree and tied for 2nd globally for the percentage of women on our faculty.
As a leading business school, we continue to define our vision and differentiate our programs; we graduate business leaders who have the exceptional ability to help grow their organizations, compete in the global economy and excel in the marketplace. Clearly, we continue to be recognized as one of the top public university business schools in the U.S., not only by the rankings publications, but by our students, alumni, recruiters and peers.
With congratulations and warmest regards,
Andrew J. Policano, Dean
