St. Davids, PA: Eastern University is proud to announce that its MBA in Organizational Management students displayed excellent performance on the distinguished Peregrine Exam, placing in the 86th percentile among students in programs accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).* The Peregrine Exam is a nationally-recognized assessment used to benchmark the learning outcomes of business programs across the country.
Peregrine provides comprehensive data allowing business schools to compare their MBA students' exam performance to national and international standards. This is the second consecutive year that Eastern MBA students have received excellent scores on the exam. The results place Eastern students in high standing among accomplished and accredited business schools across the nation, solidifying the MBA program's reputation for quality and excellence.
"It is gratifying to note how our students are advancing in their knowledge and preparation for becoming change agents in the world of business. The Peregrine results demonstrate how our approach to providing an accessible MBA program empowers students to excel at the highest levels, regardless of their background."
Dr. Christa Lee-Chuvala, Eastern's Dean for the College of Business and Leadership
At the start of the program, Eastern's incoming MBA students scored in the mid-range of business school graduate candidates. However, after program completion, their average results increased to the 86th percentile* of all students within the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) who participated. Eastern students scored above average in each business discipline category, including accounting, business analytics, economics, leadership, marketing, and operations.
"These results showcase the quality learning experience embedded in our highly flexible, asynchronous online learning environment," says Jeff James, Eastern's MBA Program Director. "Having one of the lowest tuition rates in the nation combined with high-quality outcomes is a compelling return on investment for those seeking to reach the next level in their business careers."
