It’s always great to be honored. And while our A. J. Palumbo School of Business Administration and John F. Donahue Graduate School of Business have earned numerous recognitions from highly respected, independent bodies, our most recent accolade is one we are extremely happy to tout. Recently, The Princeton Review ranked our graduate school among The Best 296 Business Schools of 2015. The ranking called our school “unique because of its emphasis on sustainability and business ethics” and our requirement that all students take an applied business ethics course.

It went on to say that “Duquesne’s award-winning, full-time, one-year MBA in sustainability is its star program, drawing students who believe sustainability will soon be ‘a global business imperative.’” The listing called our part-time and full-time evening MBA programs “also strong.”

The review reported that we offer a number of electives and concentrations as well as joint MBA/JD and MBA/MS Information Systems Management, MS in Accountancy and MBA/MS in Accountancy degrees.

It also noted that students like the fact that teamwork is integrated into academic life, allowing them to work with others on “rewarding projects that collaborate across all classes.” Other noteworthy comments were accessible and enthusiastic professors who “show a genuine interest in the success of their students” and our “excellent reputation,” which attracts a wide range of companies to our campus, including Allegheny Technologies, Alcoa, Bank of New York Mellon, Deloitte, PNC Bank, PricewaterhouseCoopers, T. Rowe Price, US Steel and Westinghouse.
