The Else School of Management at Millsaps College is one of the best business schools in the country, according to The Princeton Review’s 2010 edition of The Best 301 Business Schools.
“To be named to the ‘Best’ list affirms the Else School’s mission of offering a topnotch academic experience that prepares our graduates to be ethical business leaders,” said Howard L. McMillan, acting president at Millsaps.
The Princeton Review compiled the book using surveys of 19,000 students attending the 301 business schools in the books and school-reported data. The ranking lists are now posted at www.PrincetonReview.com where users can access information on how they are compiled.
In its two-page profile about the Else School, The Princeton Review said the school offers “the academic strength of a graduate business program while maintaining 'the intimate learning environment’ typical to a small liberal arts school. With the ideal mix of ‘small class size and excellent professors,' the academic experience is personalized and rewarding. Classes are all small and discussion-based, and professors ‘instruct students as individuals rather than as merely a class.’”
The Else School received an 85 on a scale of 60 to 99 for its academic experience rating. Factors taken into consideration include the admissions selectivity rating; student-to-faculty ratio; and student survey responses to questions about faculty, fellow students, and realization of academic expectations.
The Else School received a 74 on a scale of 60 to 99 for its admissions selectivity rating. Factors taken into consideration include the average Graduate Management Admission Test score and undergraduate GPA of the first-year class, the percentage of applicants who are accepted and the percentage of applicants who are accepted and ultimately enroll. No student survey data is used in this calculation.
The Else School is accredited by The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. This accreditation places Millsaps in the top 30 percent of business programs nationally. Millsaps is the only private school in Mississippi with this designation. Institutions that earn accreditation confirm a commitment to quality through a rigorous and comprehensive peer review.
