GVSU makes Best Business Schools guide

Grand Valley State University’s Seidman College of Business has been named by The Princeton Review as one of ‘The Best 296 Business Schools’ for 2013.

The rankings are based on a survey of business school students conducted during the 2011-12, 2010-11 and 2009-10 academic years. The survey asks students about their school’s academics, student body and campus life, themselves and their career plans. At the time of the survey, 223 students were enrolled in Grand Valley’s business school, 80 percent were part-time students. The average age at entry was 29.

Grand Valley graduate students in the MBA program said they truly appreciate their “smart” and “efficient” professors. They said professors work diligently to “instill real-world principles” in their students and know how to demonstrate “solutions to everyday business problems.” Students also said they respect the faculty, many of whom have professional experience in the business world at the highest level.

The Princeton Review complied its lists based on surveys of more than 19,000 students at the best AACSB-accredited MBA programs in the world.
