In its recently released rankings, Fortune Magazine has ranked Le Moyne College #58 in its national rankings of the best part-time MBA programs for 2022-2023. Housed within the Madden School of Business, the program rose 10 spots from last year and is the top ranked part-time MBA program among upstate New York colleges. There are approximately 1,000 colleges and universities that offer part-time MBA programs in the U.S.

“Our ongoing efforts to develop a part-time MBA program that reflects the needs and offers the flexibility for current and prospective student continues to pay dividends,” said Madden School Dean Jim Joseph ’83. “I’m heartened that Fortune’s ranking recognizes the quality of our program, our students and our graduates.”

Fortune’s ranking methodology included three components:

1.     Program score (60%) – average years of work experience, average GMAT score, and average undergraduate GPA of incoming students.
2.     Brand score (25%) – 2,500 professionals were interviewed by Ipsos to produce a school’s attitudinal equity measurement, which measures how much the group wanted to recruit from the institution.
3.     Fortune 1000 score (15%) – the number of each school’s MBA alumni who are executives (C-suite only) at Fortune 1000 companies – the more Fortune 1000 C-level placement, the higher the school’s Fortune 1000 score.

Three new offerings have been added to Le Moyne’s MBA program recently: an MBA in marketing; an MBA in analytics (recently ranked #31 by U.S. News & World Report) and; an MBA in leadership. These concentrations were added following extensive study of the marketplace and the skills that employers are seeking.

 

Other features of the College’s MBA program are:

  • Designed for maximum flexibility and working professionals through face to face, online and hybrid course options.
  • Accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), an accreditation achieved by only the top 5% of college schools of business worldwide.
  • With an eight-week course module for those who want to take the program in an accelerated fashion, the MBA can be completed in one year (full-time study).
  • Globally connected through the Jesuit network of over 180 colleges with capstone projects that allow international travel during short term trips abroad.
