Quinnipiac University has an outstanding business school, according to The Princeton Review.

The education services company features the school in the new 2010 edition of its book, "The Best 301 Business Schools," which went on sale Oct. 6.

"We are pleased to recommend Quinnipiac University's School of Business to readers of our book and users of our site, www.PrincetonReview.com, as one of the best institutions they could attend to earn an MBA," said Robert Franek, Princeton Review senior vice president of publishing. "We chose the 301 business schools in this book based on our opinion of their academic programs and offerings, as well as our review of institutional data we collect from the schools. We also strongly consider the candid opinions of students attending the schools who rate and report on their campus experiences at their schools on our survey for the book."

"The Best 301 Business Schools: 2010 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 profile on Quinnipiac, the Princeton Review editors say, "Quinnipiac is devoting considerable effort to developing its MBA program. Students brag about its exceptional resources, professors who go above and beyond their duties and a new director of the MBA program who has worked very hard to make Quinnipiac more competitive and to bring new employers to recruit."

"The School of Business is proud to be selected as one of the Best 301 Business Schools by the Princeton Review," said Matthew O'Connor, dean of the School of Business. "We are dedicated to developing business leaders for the 21st century and maintaining the highest quality academic experiences for our students."

Kim McKeage, director of the MBA program, said, "We are very pleased about all the changes in our graduate programs this year. With the new campus facilities, the launch of our online program and growth in our graduate offerings, we are ready for the next step in delivering a high quality educational experience for current and future business leaders."

The editors quoted students attending Quinnipiac who say the School of Business "has an extremely devoted team that works diligently to host network receptions, maintain a career website, assist with resumes and regularly communicate with students."

In a "Survey Says . . . " sidebar in the profile, The Princeton Review lists topics that the Quinnipiac students it surveyed were in most agreement about. The students surveyed said the School of Business offers cutting edge classes and a solid preparation in teamwork. The Princeton Review's 80-question survey for the book asked students about themselves, their career plans, and their schools' academics, student body and campus life.

The Princeton Review does not rank the business schools in the book on a single hierarchical list from 1 to 301, 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 301 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 2008-09, 2007-08, and 2006-07 academic years, the student surveys were primarily completed online. One list, "Toughest to Get Into," is based solely on institutional data. The lists are posted at www.PrincetonReview.com.
