Business and Technology named in Princeton Review’s ‘Best 301 Business Schools’

East Tennessee State University’s College of Business and Technology is listed among the nation’s most outstanding business schools in the Princeton Review 2010 edition of “Best 301 Business Schools.”

The Princeton Review is a New York City-based education services company. To create this volume, the organization interviewed 19,000 students through an online 80-question survey over a period of three years.

The publication’s Vice President Robert Franek states that the book uses “what students report to us about their schools to help applicants decide which of these academically outstanding schools is best for them.”

M.B.A. candidates at ETSU praised the faculty and administration, noting they are “very student-oriented.” Professors are deemed “very knowledgeable in their fields, and many of them are widely recognized as great scholars.”

One student noted: “We are like family at ETSU. We are all interested in each other’s success.”

Each of the institutions featured in “Best 301 Business Schools” has a two-page profile outlining academics, student life, admission information, and career/placement programs. Also included are ratings of the institution’s academics, admissions selectivity, and career programs.

Undergraduate business degrees are conferred by the ETSU College of Business and Technology in the areas of accountancy, economics, finance, and management and marketing. The graduate business program offerings include accounting and business administration. In addition, a certificate in entrepreneurial leadership can be earned as well as an interdisciplinary certificate in health care management.
