Wright State University\u2019s part-time MBA program has been recognized in the Bloomberg BusinessWeek\u2019s <\/em>Top Part-Time MBA Programs for 2011. The national ranking survey considers separate measures of student satisfaction, academic quality and post-graduation outcomes.<\/p>\n All part-time MBA programs in the U.S. are eligible to participate in the survey.\u00a0 Seventy-six programs met this year\u2019s requirements for the nationwide ranking. Wright State\u2019s program was ranked 11th among schools in the 12-state Midwest region and 61st overall. Three other Ohio part-time MBA programs are included in this year\u2019s ranking, The Ohio State\u2019s Fisher College of Business, University of Akron and Case Western Reserve\u2019s Weatherhead School of Management.<\/p>\n \u201cBeing included for the first time in this prestigious nationwide ranking survey further underscores the quality reputation of our business program,\u201d said Berkwood Farmer, dean of the Raj Soin College of Business.<\/p>\n The complete list of Bloomberg BusinessWeek\u2019s<\/em> Top Part-Time MBA Programs of 2011 can be found at http:\/\/www.businessweek.com\/interactive_reports\/bs_ptmbarank_1110.html<\/a><\/p>\n Further details about the Raj Soin College of Business MBA program can be found at http:\/\/www.wright.edu\/business\/grad\/mba\/<\/a><\/p>\n According to the Bloomberg BusinessWeek<\/em> website, students who have recently graduated or are nearing graduation are surveyed independently by Bloomberg about all aspects of their academic experience.<\/p>\n The Bloomberg ranking calls Wright State's Part-Time MBA program the third best in Ohio behind only programs at Ohio State and Akron.<\/p><\/div>\n To gauge post-graduation outcomes, Bloomberg<\/em> determines the percentage of student survey respondents from each school who say their part-time MBA program was \u201ccompletely\u201d responsible for their having achieved career goals. These can range from advancing a career with a current employer to finding a new employer or changing careers entirely.<\/p>\n To determine which programs are tops in academic quality, Bloomberg<\/em> evaluates data provided by each school from six equally weighted measures: average GMAT score, average student work experience, the percentage of teachers who are tenured, average class size in core business classes, the number of business electives available to part-timers, and the percentage of students who ultimately complete the program.<\/p>\n The student survey contributes 40 percent of the final ranking, with academic quality and post-MBA outcomes contributing 30 percent each.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wright State University\u2019s part-time MBA program has been recognized in the Bloomberg BusinessWeek\u2019s Top Part-Time MBA Programs for 2011.
