UCR MBA is number 97 out of 441 Surveyed schools. This is a great move forward as we were not previously on this ranking. This is in large part to the students support who filled out the employment survey upon graduation. We need to make sure everyone knows to fill out the employment survey again upon graduation as we can start to move our way up the rank with that information! U.S. News surveyed 441 M.B.A. programs to get the information used in the ranking of top business schools. click here for more information…

This is the second consecutive year that UCR has received recognition for students’ volunteering efforts. click on image to read the article
