Lehigh University's part-time MBA program scores in Bloomberg Businessweek ranking

FROM THE EXPRESS TIMES

Lehigh University’s part-time master’s in business administration program offered through its College of Business and Economics was recognized as the nation’s 15th strongest and the third best in the Mid-Atlantic region in a survey by Bloomberg Businessweek.

The survey is conducted every other year by the magazine’s editors, who analyze academic data and ask recent graduates about their MBA experience.

Bloomberg Businessweek ranked Lehigh’s program 35th nationally and fifth in the Mid-Atlantic region in 2009.

Survey results were released Nov. 10.

"It is very gratifying to gain this recognition in the Bloomberg Businessweek rankings, by making a tremendously strong upward move," Andrew Ward, associate dean of graduate programs said in a statement. "Given that 70 percent of the ranking is based on the responses to the survey given by recent graduates of the program, I consider this ranking to be primarily a reflection of our students valuing the experience that they are receiving in the Lehigh MBA program."
