For the 10th consecutive year, the UC Davis Graduate School of Management has been ranked among the top business schools in the nation by U.S.News & World Report.
The survey places the UC Davis MBA program 22nd among business schools at public universities and 42nd overall.
The management school has been ranked in the top 50 every year since 1996, and continues to be the youngest business school within a public institution ever ranked by the magazine. With 123 full-time MBA students, it is also the smallest business school ranked in the top 50.
“The various rankings are not the measure we use to gauge our success as a school, but to be included among the nation’s top MBA programs for a decade is quite remarkable given the relative youth and size of the Graduate School of Management,” said Dean Nicole Woolsey Biggart, a founding faculty member of the school and holder of the Jerome J. and Elsie Suran Chair in Technology Management.
The school’s emphasis on teamwork creates an energetic, close-knit community in which MBA students thrive. This collaborative learning environment is enhanced by a 10-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio — one of the best in the nation.
With the 2006 survey, UC Davis continues to have four professional schools ranked in the top 50 nationwide — business plus engineering, medicine and law. The management school offers dual-degree programs and collaborates with these other top-ranked schools.
The magazine bases its rankings on a range of criteria, including grade point averages and test scores of accepted applicants, the relative number of students accepted, success in placing graduates, and assessments of schools by business school deans and corporate recruiters.
