Princeton Review Recognizes MBA Program as One of the Best

Surveys of students and administrators put the Jack Welch College of Business & Technology in great company

Sacred Heart University’s Jack Welch College of Business & Technology (WCBT) once again has earned a place among the nation’s outstanding business schools for a master’s degree in business administration (MBA), according to The Princeton Review. The education services company profiles SHU in its recently reported list, Best Business Schools for 2022: Best On-Campus MBA Programs.

“We are pleased that The Princeton Review continues to recognize the value of our MBA program,” said Michael Larobina, acting dean of the WCBT. “Our faculty and staff are dedicated to ensuring students receive a meaningful and relevant business education, and that they leave here prepared to thrive in an innovative business world.”

The WCBT is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, and its faculty members are recognized scholars and experienced practitioners in the business world. Under the faculty’s guidance, students complete required coursework and a capstone project, working with their peers to help local businesses develop a product or service. Students hone their management skills, apply the business concepts they’ve learned at SHU and make presentations to business professionals, nonprofit executives and faculty on their projects’ outcomes. As a result, they graduate with first-hand experiences and a glimpse of what business success entails.

The college operates out of SHU’s West Campus, in a facility that offers technology-enhanced classrooms, as well as labs for financial computing and modeling, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. It also has a trading floor, a makerspace, a student start-up incubator, a co-working area that houses numerous start-ups, and other educational provisions.

The Princeton Review compiled its list of top MBA programs from surveys of business school administrators during the 2020-21 academic year.

The company also factored in data from surveys of more than 18,900 MBA students at 241 business schools between 2018 and the current academic year. Its 80-question survey probed into academics, the student body and campus life, in addition to asking students about themselves and their career plans.
