Seidman College of Business ranked nationally

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Citing "cutting edge classes" and solid preparation in accounting and management, Grand Valley State University's Seidman College of Business was included in the new Princeton Review list of the top business schools in the country.

Seidman College of Business was included in Princeton Review’s new “Best 296 Business Schools” publication, which was released this week. The Princeton Review compiled the lists based on its surveys of 19,000 students attending the 296 business schools listed, and on school-reported data.

Among the student comments were praise for Grand Valley’s small class sizes and first-rate faculty members who are “very astute, visionary, shrewd, capable and highly qualified.”

The Princeton Review has posted the ranking lists and information on how they are compiled at www.PrincetonReview.com. The ranking lists are based on surveys of business school students during the 2007-08, 2006-07, and 2005-06 academic years. Students answer an 80-question survey that asks them about their school’s academics, student body and campus life, themselves, and their career plans. School profiles in “Best 296 Business Schools” cover admissions, academics, financial aid, campus life and career information. Introductory chapters offer information and advice on funding the degrees, taking the LSAT and GMAT, applying to schools and excelling at them.
