Business school ranked near top

Both graduate and undergraduate programs in the Leavey School of Business recently received recognition from two national publications.

US News and World Report ranked the part-time Master's in Business Administration program No. 14 best in the nation, while the undergraduate business program made its debut in the Business Week rankings at No. 27 in the nation.

"It's nice to see the school finally getting some recognition for the great work done by some of the faculty, students and alums," said junior accounting major Mark Almassy. "I have had some great professors in each of the departments that I'm sure measure up with the best at Stanford and Penn."

Using a formula based on entering student test scores, teaching quality and alumni job placement, Business Week ranked Stanford University and the University of Pennsylvania No. 2 and 3, respectively.

Dean of the Leavey School of Business Barry Posner said that the ranking is an indication of the quality of education of the Santa Clara business programs.

"It's useful at a macro level for parents, incoming students and employers," said Posner, who is also a faculty member in the management department. "If it wasn't for some kind of ranking system, they would be looking at 500 schools, all with management departments. It gives an idea of why some schools are a better fit than others."

Business Week cited the business school's relatively small class sizes and the support staff as key factors in attaining the No. 27 ranking. The magazine gave the undergraduate program an "A plus" in job placement and was ranked No. 20 by recruiting firms in the quality of graduates.

"There's a lot of demands for accountants right now, especially with all the activity in Silicon Valley," said senior accounting major Will Marshall, who plans on taking a job at Ernst and Young this summer. However, one factor that brought down Santa Clara's ranking was a low score in quality of facilities, Posner said. The magazine ranked Santa Clara's facilities 92 out of 93 schools. Posner hopes to see the overall ranking rise in coming years, once construction is completed on the yet-to-be-named new business school building. But for now, he remains proud of the significant rankings.

"Anyone connected with Santa Clara University should be proud of this accomplishment in the same way we're proud of the soccer team or another department," said Posner. "It's recognition of our faculty, students and alumni making their mark in the business world."

Santa Clara University School of Law was named one of the top 100 law schools in the country by U.S. News & World Report. The annual graduate school ranking also recognized the law school’s intellectual property law program as one of the top 10 in the country.

Other California law schools with an intellectual property program in the top 10 are University of California, Berkeley, and Stanford University. "I’m pleased that U.S. News has continued to recognize our IP program. We are continuing to make significant investments in our high-tech and IP law program that I’m confident will yield long-term benefits," said Eric Goldman, academic director of the high-tech law program and an assistant professor at the law school.
