The Princeton Review added the Walton MBA at the Sam M. Walton College of Business
to its Best Business Schools list for On-Campus MBA Programs 2023!
“It’s exciting to be recognized by the Princeton Review as one of the best MBA programs
in the nation,” said Adam Stoverink, director of Walton MBA Programs and associate
professor of management at the Sam M. Walton College of Business. “This designation
is especially meaningful because it is based, in large part, on student satisfaction.
It’s clear from their survey responses that our students are enjoying a truly transformative
experience. And that’s a testament not only to their own hard work, but also to the
hard work and dedication of our world-class faculty and staff.”
The Walton MBA offers two distinct paths to the same MBA degree. The full-time MBA
program is 100% on-campus. The part-time Executive MBA, which is designed for working
professionals, is mostly online but also has a monthly on-campus component great for
networking and in-person learning. The Princeton Review list incorporates data from
both programs.
Per the Princeton Review, the “lists for 2023 are based on data from surveys of administrators
at 243 business schools in 2021-22, and of more than 20,300 students enrolled at the
schools’ on-campus MBA programs.”
In addition, the Princeton Review ranked Walton College’s graduate entrepreneurship program 35th in the nation and 5th in the South in its Top 50 Entrepreneurship: Grad listing. The ranking for its 2023 Top Schools
for Entrepreneurship Studies by Region, separated schools in seven zones: Mid-Atlantic,
Midwest, Northeast, South, Southwest, West and outside of the United States.
All lists are based on institutional survey data, including academic offerings, experiential
learning opportunities and career outcomes.
