The College of Business Administration (CBA) at Cal State Long Beach was named
one of the best business schools, according to
the Princeton Review.
Students said CSULB is the “best business school in the California State
University system,” because they were pleased with the business school’s
academic performance and environment, the school’s profile showed. CSULB’s
Evening MBA program, in particular, stood out as one of the most popular programs.
“
I am a second-year MBA student and I have enjoyed the program,” Lanie Minami,
analyst at Toyota Financial Services, said. “The professors and courses
are better than I expected.”
Luis Calingo, dean of CBA, said the college’s student body, competitive
admissions and faculty participation in research contributed to CSULB being one
of the best business schools.
“
Quality of the student body entering the College of Business Administration has
improved,” he said. “It is very important that faculty is involved
in scholarly research.”
Calingo said the quality of the student population and graduates in the college
also contributed to the business school. He said several students are executive
officers and take night classes just for the MBA program.
Minami, who will graduate in December 2006, said she chose CSULB because it was
flexible and offered a number of courses.
She plans to apply for a management position at Toyota.
“
Having the background will help me be the candidate for the management
position,” she said.
The Princeton Review rates business schools according to their competitiveness
of admissions and student opinions about professors and academic experience.
