Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business Part-Time MBA program has been named No. 1 in the nation for academic quality by BusinessWeek’s 2009 rankings of part-time MBA programs. The Drexel Part-Time MBA ranked No. 10 in the nation overall. No other part-time MBA program in the Philadelphia region was ranked among the nation’s top 30 by BusinessWeek.
The overall ranking was based on three factors: academic quality, post-MBA outcomes, and a survey of MBA student satisfaction. In ranking LeBow College of Business No. 1 in academic quality, BusinessWeek combined six equally weighted measures: average GMAT score, average student work experience, the percentage of instructors who are tenured, average class size in core business classes, the number of business electives available to part-timers, and the percentage of students who ultimately complete the program.
