LeBow Named to Princeton Review’s Best Business Schools for 2027
The Bennett S. LeBow College of Business was named to The Princeton Review’s Best Business Schools for 2027.
LeBow was recognized among 208 institutions nationwide that the education services company named to its Best On-Campus MBA Programs list. LeBow’s Online MBA also appears on the list of Best Online MBA Programs.
Additionally, LeBow was ranked number one first for having the Most Competitive Students for the second year in a row, based on assessments by students of their academic workload and their classmates’ competitiveness. This characteristic is demonstrated at LeBow by students seeking out challenges and opportunities for self-improvement by participating in the Lawrie Advanced Global Leadership Program, entering national and international case competitions and selecting rigorous, STEM-designated concentrations for their MBA studies.
“LeBow’s placement in The Princeton Review’s Best Business Schools is a testament to the curriculum innovations we’ve made that emphasize both rigor and relevance across our MBA programs,” says LeBow Dean and R. John Chapel Jr. Dean’s Chair Vibhas Madan, PhD. “New elements including the integration of generative AI technology and creation of new pathways to industry certification in our MBA for Professional Accounting make the LeBow MBA — both our programs and its graduates — truly future-ready.”
The Princeton Review‘s editors weighed more than 60 data points in their selection of MBA programs for the 2027 Best Business Schools lists. The selection of on-campus programs was derived from the company’s surveys of administrators at 245 schools offering on-campus MBAs as well as its surveys over the past three years of 24,250 students enrolled in the programs.
The administrator survey requested data on the program’s academics, faculty, career services and other topics, while the student survey asked them to rate their program’s academics, professors, technology, campus life and other topics, and to report on their career plans and satisfaction with the program.
In The Princeton Review’s website profile of LeBow, the editors describe LeBow’s on-campus MBA as having a “strong and dynamic curriculum” that “stresses practical education.” In response to the survey, LeBow students shared that faculty members “are really open to meeting with students and discussing classroom ideas in a different context” and that they “bring real-world issues to classroom for discussions and potential problem solutions.”
“We congratulate LeBow along with the other institutions that made our Best Business Schools for 2027 lists,” says Rob Franek, The Princeton Review’s editor-in-chief. “They differ importantly in program offerings, specializations and other aspects, but they all met our key criteria for designating them as ‘best.’ We recommend each and every one of them for their excellent academics, robust experiential learning opportunities, outstanding career services, and the positive feedback we received from their very own customers — their on-campus MBA students we surveyed.”
More information about this project including the methodology for the school selections, rankings and ratings is posted on the Best Business Schools site.
