Monmouth University Named to The Princeton Review’s “Best Business Schools 2024”

Monmouth University's Leon Hess Business School is one of the country's best business schools according to The Princeton Review. The education services company recently named Monmouth's on-campus MBA program to its list of Best Business Schools for 2024. This is Monmouth's 19^th consecutive year on the annual academic roster.

"We are honored to have the continued success of the Leon Hess Business School be recognized by The Princeton Review for nearly two decades," said Raj Devasagayam, Ph.D., dean of the Leon Hess Business School. "We take pride in fostering a personalized learning environment that promotes business as a force for good, where engaged faculty provide exceptional support, cutting-edge research, and real-world insights to our classrooms, significantly contributing to the success of our graduates."

Editors at The Princeton Review weigh more than 60 data points in making their selections for their annual Best Business Schools lists. The rankings for 2024 were based on data from surveys of administrators at 409 business schools and surveys of 32,200 students enrolled in MBA programs.

The survey for school administrators, which evaluated more than 30 fields, covers admissions selectivity, graduation and retention rates, faculty training and credentials, technological infrastructure, student indebtedness, and career outcomes among other items. The survey for students, which also evaluates more than 30 unique fields, allows students to rate their faculty, their fellow students, career preparation, academics, the technology platform, and overall satisfaction with their programs.

Students highlighted Monmouth's small campus setting which allows "administrators and professors get to know their students on a more personal level," with students noting that "faculty are always [available] whether… via email, phone call, or meeting up at a time that is convenient." Other students shared that faculty are "very knowledgeable in their fields," and their varied industry experience "gives [professors] the chance to share real-life business scenarios with students."

In their profile, The Princeton Review also notes that in addition to faculty, students have access "to a variety of 'real world' experts" through the "H.R. Young Lecture Series, the Accounting Club Speakers, the Finance Club Speaker, [and] the S.B. Siegel Lecture Series."

The Leon Hess Business School is accredited by AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) International - the accreditation has been earned by less than 5% of the world's business programs.
