HB Best Schools 10

The University of Texas at San Antonio College of Business has been ranked the No. 5 graduate business school in the nation for Hispanics by Hispanic Business in their September 2010 edition.

“We are honored to be recognized by Hispanic Business,” said Dr. Lynda de la Viña , dean of the UTSA College of Business and Peter Flawn Professor of Economics.

“This ranking speaks to the quality of our academic programming and the services that we provide our MBA students. It elevates the college into the upper echelon of business schools in the nation.”

This is the third year that the College of Business has been ranked in the top 10 and the 13th year that Hispanic Business has conducted their study. The rankings (in order) included UT-El Paso, New York University, UT-Austin, University of Miami, UTSA, University of New Mexico, Stanford University, Florida International University, Duke and the University of Wisconsin at Madison.

Hispanic Business ranked the top 10 universities nationally in business based on five criteria: enrollment of Hispanics, percentage of full-time Hispanic faculty members, availability of student support and services, retention rates and graduate program reputation.

The UTSA College of Business offers a comprehensive business curriculum at the undergraduate, graduate and doctoral levels. The college’s MBA program was ranked No. 4 in the Southwest and No. 28 nationwide by BusinessWeek and was named one of the top 10 MBA programs for minority students by the Princeton Review for the past five years.

Nationally ranked and recognized, the UTSA College of Business is accredited by AACSB International, The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. It is one of the 40 largest business schools in the nation with 5,600 enrolled students and 47 different graduate and undergraduate business programs.
