Press Release
Recruiters rank the Eller MBA program at The University of Arizona among the top 25 programs
Rankings occur in The Wall Street Journal / Harris Interactive regional rankings.
TUCSON, Ariz. – September 22, 2005 – The Wall Street Journal / Harris Interactive rankings have named the Eller College of Management’s MBA program #24 in its category. The annual rankings are unique in that they solely measure how appealing business schools are to recruiters, the buyers of MBA talent.
The Eller College competes in the “Regional” category which includes public and private universities who primarily attract recruiters from their geographic area. Rankings in the “Regional” category are based on a) recruiters’ likelihood of returning to a school and making offers there; b) the number of recruiters a school draws; and c) recruiters’ perceptions of schools and graduates in 20 areas, including the quality of the schools’ graduates, faculty, and curricula. More specifically, in ranking their top schools, recruiters define quality students by excellent communication skills, team focus, and real world experience.
Brent Chrite, associate dean and director of Eller MBA programs, commented, “Our students have strong analytical skills, a teamwork orientation due to the small class size, and a high level of personal ethics and integrity — attributes key to recruiters. Our #24 position reflects the relationships we have built with a savvy community of recruiters who return to hire Eller MBAs year after year. We’re pleased that this survey affirms the quality of our students.”
