2007 Top Ten Business Schools with the Best Overall Academic Experience
 rovided by The Princeton Review
|  |
Which B-schools offer students a great overall academic experience? To
come up with the schools on this list, The Princeton Review looked at
institutional data concerning average GMAT scores and undergraduate GPA
of enrolled students; acceptance and matriculation rates; and
student/faculty ratio. The Princeton Review also asked students about
the quality of their professors, their relationship with fellow
students, and the realization of their academic expectations. According
to The Princeton Review’s annual survey of 18,000 business school
students at the nation’s Best 282 Business Schools, these ten schools
offer their students the best overall academic experience.
- University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
The University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, one of the world’s
premier MBA programs, is best known for its “strong emphasis on
quantitative analysis.” Students brag that Wharton “provides all the
resources necessary for us to succeed, and then some.” Fellow students
“sometimes add more value than the assigned readings” and the school’s
“co-production model of learning” ensures that everyone stays engaged. - University of Massachusetts—Amherst (Amherst, Massachusetts)
The
“small size of the program” at UMass Amherst’s Isenberg School of
Management “makes it extremely possible for students to have one-on-one
contact with great faculty.” Furthermore, “there is a real sense of
community” and “the atmosphere strongly encourages teamwork over
cutthroat competition.” - Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, Massachusetts)
Students tell us that MIT Sloan “is the very best school for innovation
in business.” Sloan’s quant-intensive program includes a rigorous core
that involves a large measure of “friendly team-based learning” which
incorporates “videos, cases, [and] group exercises” and “emphasizes
leadership skills.” The environment here is “very entrepreneurial” and
students are able to cross-register “with other MIT schools or Harvard.” - Dartmouth College (Hanover, New Hampshire)
The excellent reputation of the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth
attracts faculty who “come here to teach, which really differentiates
Tuck from other top schools. General Management is Tuck’s forte, and
“the school excels at it.” Moreover, students are “wowed” by the
cooperation among students on campus that “fosters a culture of
excellence without being competitive.” - New York University (New York, New York)
Students at NYU’s Stern School of Business celebrate the fact their
prime location makes it “well-connected with the large financial
institutions” and that there are countless “opportunities to supplement
coursework with practical experience.” In addition, Stern’s location
allows it to attract “’celebrity’ level” businesspeople as adjuncts,
which makes for some valuable connections outside of class. - University of Florida (Gainesville, Florida)
Finance “is the greatest strength of the program” at University of
Florida’s Warrington College of Business, where “entrepreneurship is
also a rising star.” The school offers students lots of options,
everything from course schedules that accommodate UF’s many
part-timers, to an intensive one-year MBA for those who just want to
grind out a degree and get on with their careers. - Northwestern University (Evanston, Illinois)
At Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management, “Students run
everything.” This lends the school “a certain energy” that “brings
excitement to each and every day.” In addition, students are able to
receive “confidential, detailed, and honest feedback on how they work
in teams” through a Web-based program called TeamNet. This produces an
unparalleled ability to “respond to and give confidential peer
feedback, something excellent managers do well.” - Stanford University (Stanford, California)
It’s the company you’ll keep at Stanford Graduate School of Business
that ultimately distinguishes a Stanford MBA from the rest. First
there’s the faculty, “who are brilliant” and hold “a true zest for
teaching.” Then there are the visiting lecturers who include “frequent
luminaries such as top CEOs.” Finally there are your “amazingly
accomplished” classmates and a “collaborative culture” that “frees you
from focusing on grades and enables you to take academic risks.” - Yale University (New Haven, Connecticut)
Yale’s School of Management is well-integrated into the university as a
whole and students say “being part of one the world’s most renowned
universities has given me access to unparalleled intellectual
experiences.” Yale’s “program is very quantitative” and “attracts “many
finance and nonprofit gurus.” In addition, Yale’s “incredible”
professors “make themselves totally available” and are “enthusiastic
about helping students get to the same level as themselves. - Harvard University (Cambridge, Massachusetts)
The strength of Harvard Business School resides in the quality of its
instructors. The “obviously committed” faculty at Harvard Business
School excel at “teaching and developing relationships with students”
and “loves being here, regardless of whether they are a superstar or
not.” In class, the case method predominates, creating lively debates
among the school’s “incredibly successful” students who “come from all
walks of life.”
