Potential students can learn more about all the valuable components of a Lamar MBA at the College of Business’s MBA Open House at 6 p.m. Nov. 9. The event, which is open to the public, will be in the Landes Auditorium of the Galloway Business building.
“Students can count on the MBA to give them an edge when the economy turns around or, even in a down economy, give them the extra skills they need to get the jobs they’re looking for,” said Brad Mayer, associate dean, college of business. “It turns a bad situation into maybe an opportunity for them to go back and retool and gain some additional knowledge.”
Lamar University has a history as 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.” The Princeton Review does not rank the business schools in the book on a single hierarchical list from 1 to 301, or name one business school best overall. Instead, the book has 11 ranking lists of the top 10 business schools in various categories.
“It is gratifying to be recognized once again as a top business school by Princeton Review,” said Henry Venta, dean of Lamar’s College of Business. “It is particularly important this year since we have seen tremendous growth in enrollment. The Princeton Review recognition, as well as the Lamar MBA ranking in the Beyond Grey Pinstripes Global 100, is indication that our growth in numbers is supported by a high quality program.”
Lamar University's MBA is fully accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). In the recently released Beyond Grey Pinstripes 2010, Lamar MBA was ranked 68th in the "Global 100" list up from 85th in the 2007-2008 ranking.
