"We recognized the need for matching our experienced faculty with the graduate students' current work experience, life stage and professional goals. The results are quantifiable and further differentiate the Fogelman College of Business & Economics."

CEO Magazine looks at full-time and part-time MBA programs and weighs factors such as quality of faculty, international diversity, class size, accreditation, faculty-to-student ratio and price.

Earning an MBA has many benefits for qualified individuals to achieve their personal goals, foster a profession and add valuable dimensions to career progression.
