LAWRENCE —The University of Kansas School of Business is listed in the Princeton Review's "Best Business Schools."

The Princeton Review compiled the list of 290 schools based on surveys of 19,000 students enrolled in accredited MBA programs and on school-reported data. The website offers details about the schools' academic programs, student life and career prospects for graduates.

"As one might expect from a school that focuses a great deal on international business, KU has an international program that allows students to obtain real-world experience in the global marketplace," Princeton Review states.

"We are pleased to have the School of Business included in the Princeton Review's list of top business schools," said William L. Fuerst, dean of the School of Business. "It is particularly gratifying to read the great comments our students made about our program. We offer a strong curriculum that prepares our students for the needs of the business world. We offer our students international study and lots of opportunities for hands-on learning. It is great to see they recognize the value of that in their education."

The analysis of schools includes comments received from students in the program. According to the Review, "Students at the University of Kansas' School of Business describe their institution as Ôthe best business school in the Midwest,'" Students define the program as positive, up-tempo, friendly, lots of work, and "a truly wonderful grad school experience." The students characterize the professors as "second to none" and are impressed with their academic and professional backgrounds."

Students added that KU profs, who are "active in the business world within their fields, exhibit a great blend of teaching skills and real-world experience." Students wrote that they are held to a high standard and are "expected to be well prepared, well read, and well spoken in course discussions."

KU's MBA program is offered in full-time, evening-professional and numerous dual degree formats. Also available are a master's in accounting, a master's in finance and a doctorate in business.
