Willamette MBA Ranked a "Top 15 Program" for Preparing Students for Careers in Marketing by the Princeton Review

March 31, 2009 – Salem, ORE – Willamette University’s Atkinson Graduate School of Management was named a “Top 15 Program for Preparing Students for Marketing” by the Princeton Review.  The ranking, based on a survey of 19,000 students worldwide, appears in the latest issue of Entrepreneur magazine.

“This designation is especially meaningful because it comes from student satisfaction surveys,” said Debra Ringold, Dean and JELD-WEN Professor of Free Enterprise.  “It speaks to the quality of our faculty, the strength of our marketing curriculum and the career opportunities available to students upon graduation.”

Willamette University and the University of Oregon both made the list, which is listed alphabetically by school.  The list is also included in the Princeton Review’s Best Business Schools publication.

Willamette and UO are the only two schools from the northwest to make any of the “Top Programs” lists, and are two of only three schools on the west coast to be honored as a top program in marketing.  The Willamette MBA is one of only two programs worldwide to be dually accredited for business administration and public administration.  Willamette MBA classes are held in both Salem and Portland, Oregon.
