It was a double dose of good news for Marist College this month. First, the Princeton Review named the School of Management at Marist College one of the nation”™s outstanding business schools for the fifth year in a row. Then, Kiplinger”™s magazine named the school one of the best college bargains.

 

Poughkeepsie-based Marist offers an online MBA program and the undergraduate and graduate business programs are fully accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

 

The school is featured in the Princeton Review”™s ratings guide, Best 296 Business Schools 2009 edition. Rankings are determined by an 80-question survey, which asked students about themselves, their career plans and their schools”™ academics, student body and campus life.

The schools in The Princeton Review guidebooks are not ranked academically nor are they ranked hierarchically in any single category. The information is available at www.princetonreview.com

The college is also in the midst of an $80 million capital campaign, with a major focus on expanding its endowed scholarship program.
