The part-time MBA program at Santa Clara University's Leavey School of Business was ranked No. 13 among the top MBA part-time programs in the country, according to U.S. News & World Report magazine's annual "America's Best Graduate Schools" rankings.
Other part time MBA programs in California ranked by U.S. News in the top 15 are: The Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley (6), the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California (6), and the Anderson School of Business at the University of California, Los Angeles (4).
The part-time MBA program at Santa Clara University's Leavey School of Business has steadily moved up the rankings over the past three years, from #15 in 2006, to #14 in 2007.
Santa Clara University has been listed in the top 20 MBA programs every year since the part-time rankings began in 1995. The magazine also ranked SCU's executive MBA program, launched in 1999, as #19 in the nation.
"Both the Evening MBA and Executive MBA programs develop men and women who provide leadership in global organizations," said Barry Z. Posner, dean of the School of Business and professor of leadership. "These rankings are more evidence that our reputation is growing outside our region as well."
The Evening MBA program was begun in 1959 and was in the first group of MBA programs to be accredited by the Association for the Advancement of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB-International).The graduate business program has expanded to include the Executive MBA program, launched in 1999. In addition, the Leavey School of Business now offers a M.S. in Information Systems, and launched its Weekend Accelerated MBA program last fall.
