April 23, 2009- (ATLANTA) - The part-time MBA at Georgia State University's J. Mack Robinson College of Business is, for the 14th consecutive year, ranked a national top 10 program (Number 7) in U.S. News & World Report's "America's Best Graduate Schools." The 2010 edition also listed Robinson's Department of Computer Information Systems among the top 10 information systems programs. Robinson is the only business school in Atlanta and in the South to have a top 10 part-time program and one of a handful of schools in the United States to hold multiple top 10 rankings. According to Robinson Dean Fenwick Huss, "Being a top 10 program for such a prolonged period of time is a tribute to our innovative curriculum, responsiveness to the changing needs of students and the quality of Robinson's faculty. It also puts us head-to-head with the part-time MBA programs of such schools as NYU, Northwestern and UC Berkeley." U.S. News bases its list in large part on a survey of business school deans and directors of accredited MBA programs. The 2010 edition of U.S. News & World Report's "America's Best Graduate Schools," which is posted at usnews.com, will be on newsstands Monday, April 28.
