EWU Business School earns national recognition

---

Eastern Washington University's College of Business and Public Administration (CBPA) is one of the outstanding institutions featured in the 2011 edition of The Princeton Review's annual guidebook, "The Best 300 Business Schools," which is now available in bookstores nationwide.

"We are pleased to recommend Eastern Washington University's College of Business and Public Administration as one of the best institutions they could attend to earn an MBA," said Robert Franek, senior vice president of publishing for The Princeton Review and education services company. "We chose the 300 business schools in this book based on our high opinion of their academic programs and offerings, as well as our review of institutional data we collect from the schools." "It is an honor to be recognized for the quality, affordability and relevance of our program by The Princeton Review," Roberta Brooke director of EWU's MBA Program said. "This is the result of a team effort by all those associated with Eastern, and we will continue to strive for excellence.

"The Best 300 Business Schools: 2011 Edition" has two-page profiles of the schools with write-ups on their academics, student life and admissions, plus ratings for their academics, selectivity and career placement services. In the Eastern profile, the editors describe the school as appealing on a number of levels because of its price, its close proximity to home and the ability to earn a graduate degree in one year for diligent students.

They quote CBPA students who say they like the school because of the small class sizes, convenient evening classes and "professors who are friendly, great communicators and easy to reach with questions."

The Princeton Review does not rank the business schools in the book on a single hierarchical list from one to 300, or name one business school best overall. Instead, the book has 11 ranking lists of the top 10 business schools in various categories.

Ten lists are based on The Princeton Review's surveys of 19,000 students attending the 300 business schools profiled in the book. (Only schools that permitted The Princeton Review to survey their students were eligible for consideration for these lists.) Conducted during the 2009-10, 2008-09 and 2007-08 academic years, the student surveys were primarily completed online.
