U.S. News ranks Freeman among the best

In the latest edition of its America's Best Graduate Schools guidebook, U.S. News & World Report has ranked the Freeman School 48th on the list of the best business schools in America. Highlights of the ranking survey appear in the May 2009 issue of U.S. News & World Report.

"U.S. News is a major benchmark of MBA programs in the United States," says Bill Sandefer, director of graduate admissions. "With more than 400 programs vying for a place on the list, Tulane should be proud of the recognition. For the Freeman School, the variety and quantity of such recognition is really a testament to a great faculty, students and alums."

U.S. News surveyed all 426 master's programs in business accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business to assemble this year's list of the best business schools.  The ranking is based on a methodology that includes assessments of quality from deans, MBA program directors and recruiters,  measures of placement success, and measures of student selectivity.
