BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The UAB School of Business MBA program is a “great program” with “cutting-edge classes,” according to The Princeton Review. The New York-based education services company features the school in the just-published 2008 edition of its “Best 290 Business Schools” (Random House/Princeton Review, October 2007, $22.95.

“The Graduate School of Management at UAB is delighted that our MBA program has been recognized as one of the best in the nation,” said Dean Robert E. Holmes, Ph.D. “We consistently receive very high marks from our graduates and their employers on the excellence of our MBA degree program.”

The Princeton Review compiled the lists based on its surveys of 19,000 students attending the 290 business schools in the book.

According to Robert Franek, Princeton Review vice president-publishing, “We compile our ranking lists in multiple categories based on what students report to us about their schools to help applicants decide which of these academically outstanding schools is best for them.” The schools in The Princeton Review guidebooks are not ranked academically nor are they ranked hierarchically in any single category.

Students praised the “strong academics,” the flexible scheduling and the quality of the professors, “who have a great deal of academic and real-world experience.” Students said the program also has an “excellent reputation as a quality MBA program.”

The ranking lists are based on surveys of b-school students conducted during the 2006-07, 2005-06 and 2004-05 academic years. Most were completed online at The Princeton Review’s student survey site: http://survey.review.com. The 80-question survey asks students about their school’s academics, student body and campus life, and about themselves and their career plans.

The school profiles in each book cover academics, admission, financial aid, campus life and career information. They include advice on funding the degrees and applying to the programs.
