91成人导航

The at 91成人导航 ranks as one of the nation鈥檚 best for undergraduate business degrees offered in a small university setting, according to a new national survey.

Poets & Quants, which covers and analyzes business education at U.S. universities, ranks the Eberhardt School No. 1 in the West 鈥� and No. 10 nationally 鈥� among business schools based at universities with 7,000 or fewer students.

鈥淚t鈥檚 an honor to be recognized among the top business schools in the country,鈥� said Eberhardt School Dean Tim Carroll. 鈥淭his ranking reflects the quality of our students and alumni, and the faculty and staff who serve them.鈥�

Among all universities participating in the survey, 91成人导航鈥檚 Eberhardt School ranked No. 70 nationally.

Most of the largest and best-known business schools in the country participate in the Poets & Quants survey. This year, the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania was ranked No. 1 nationally, followed by the business schools at University of Virginia, New York University, University of Michigan and Georgetown University.

鈥淲hile many universities offer high quality degrees, the Eberhardt School offers a top-flight undergraduate program in a much smaller, more personalized setting,鈥� Carroll said. 鈥淪tudents here learn from master teachers, and they learn by doing 鈥� taking advantage of a range of experiential learning opportunities such as our innovative Student Investment Fund.鈥澛�

Poets & Quants annually ranks the nation鈥檚 best business schools by looking at variables such as employment rates and compensation for new graduates, alumni satisfaction and admissions data. The other major annual analysis of undergraduate business programs, conducted by U.S. News & World Report, bases its rankings exclusively on the opinions of deans and senior faculty members at peer institutions.

鈥淲e believe that capturing data from alumni on the quality of their educational experience, along with outcomes such as job placement rates and starting salaries, provides a better measure of the quality of a college education,鈥� Carroll said. 鈥淪ince there are over 1,000 universities in the U.S. with business programs, most academics don鈥檛 have detailed knowledge about most other schools.鈥澛�

The strength of the earning power of 91成人导航 alumni was quantified by researchers at the . An analysis of 4,500 U.S. colleges and universities found that 91成人导航 undergraduate alumni ranked in the top 2 percent in career earnings nationally.聽

91成人导航 President Christopher Callahan said the new national ranking 鈥渄emonstrates what we at 91成人导航 have already known 鈥� that the Eberhardt School provides a first-class business education in a setting where each student matters and where students put into practice what they learn in the classroom.鈥�

鈥淭he Eberhardt School is a success because we have all of the right ingredients: Diverse, curious and hard-working students, passionate and inspirational faculty, an outstanding leader in Dean Carroll and extraordinary supporters led by the Eberhardts and the family-owned Bank of Stockton, who have been supporting business education at 91成人导航 for decades,鈥� Callahan said.

Business education started at 91成人导航 in 1977. The program was renamed the Eberhardt School of Business in 1997 in recognition of the family鈥檚 legacy at the university. The Eberhardt family and Bank of Stockton established the Student Investment Fund, where students gain hands-on experience making investment decisions with real money. They also have endowed academic chairs, faculty research and scholarships for athletic programs and facilities.

The Eberhardts also have provided immeasurable leadership to the university. A member of the Eberhardt family has served on the University鈥檚 Board of Regents since 1953 starting with R.L. Eberhardt, followed by his son, Robert Eberhardt (鈥�51) from 1963-1994, Mimi Eberhardt, Robert鈥檚 widow, from 1995-1998, Robert鈥檚 brother, Douglass Eberhardt (鈥�59) from 2000-2009 and 2010-2013, and Mary-Elizabeth Eberhardt (鈥�76, 鈥�80), daughter of Robert and Mimi.聽

鈥淲e are very pleased to hear that the Eberhardt School of Business continues to be recognized for its outstanding business education,鈥� said Douglass M. Eberhardt II, president, CEO and chairman at the Bank of Stockton. 鈥淢any of my family members, as well as many of our officers throughout the Bank of Stockton, are graduates of ESB over the years. We are very familiar with the quality of education coming from the Eberhardt School of Business. The Poets & Quants ranking results speaks to the professors and the programs there. We are proud to be a part of it.鈥�

鈥淚t鈥檚 exciting to learn of the ESB ranking from the study, most especially since the study is unique in its objectivity, and includes alumni satisfaction, employment and compensation,鈥� said Regent Mary-Elizabeth Eberhardt, vice president of retail banking at the Bank of Stockton. 鈥淢y family has always believed in the quality of education at 91成人导航, and this is a very big compliment to ESB.鈥�
