College of Business one of the best administered in the nation according to Princeton Review

November 2, 2012

Colorado State University's College of Business is among the "Best Administered" business schools in the nation according to the Princeton Review, a New-York-based educational services company.

Top in the nation

CSU’s College of Business ranks fourth in the nation in the recently released “Best 296 Business Schools” book for 2013.

The “Best Administered” category is based on student answers to survey questions concerning how smoothly the school is run, and the ease with which students can get into required and popular courses.

'Superb staff'

“The CSU College of Business has a superb administrative staff to thank for fostering a program of fluidity for its students,” said John Weiss, director of MBA programs at the College of Business. “The praise of the program confirms that the human resources the college has devoted to supporting its programs is important.”

Best in the West

CSU’s College Business also is listed among the "Best Business Schools" in the West.

“We have a dedicated and talented group of people that believe in our programs and do all they can to make the student experiences as valuable and positive as they can be,” said Weiss. “I think this is a reflection of the pride we all have in our programs and what we do.”

The Princeton Review tallied its lists based on its surveys of 19,000 students attending the 296 business schools. The 80-question survey asked students to rate multiple attributes of their schools including their professors and fellow classmates. Some rankings factored in school-reported data.
