    Le Moyne Climbs 21 Spots in Fortune’s Part-time MBA Rankings

    In its recently released rankings, Fortune Magazine has ranked Le Moyne College as #37 in the publication’s national rankings of the best part-time MBA programs for 2024. Housed within the Madden College of Business and Economics, the program rose 21 spots since the last ranking in 2022, 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.

    “The part-time MBA’s continued rise in the ranking is a reflection on the quality of our program, our students and our graduates,” said Madden College Dean Jim Joseph ’83, Ed.D. 83 and vice president for advancement and innovation. “On the heels of last month’s national ranking of our MBA Analytics by U.S. News, the improvement in the Fortune’s ranking affirms the success of the 2020 reinvention and modernization of Le Moyne’s MBA program.”
