The goal behind the rankings is to provide potential students with a performance benchmark when comparing programs.
“Our faculty and staff are honored and humbled by this recognition,” said Albert Huang, faculty graduate advisor of the EMBA program. “We have always dedicated ourselves to ensuring that our students become the responsible and professional leaders that our community needs.”
