Wall Street Journal ranks UT Dallas’ MBA program #6 in the nation
After having been named the the 10th best MBA program in the country by the Financial Times back in October, the University of Texas at Dallas EMBA program received the 6th highest ranking in the nation from the Wall Street Journal on Dec. 10.
The Journal study ranked eligible programs by salary increase (following degree completion) in relation to tuition costs.
The Texas A&M MBA program ranked #1 in the findings, followed by the programs at U FL and Ohio State. UT Austin's program came in at #5, Southern Methodist's at #7 and Rice's at #11.
UTD School of Management Dean Hasan Pirkul was more or less obligated to say something, so he settled on this: "This recognition by the Wall Street Journal is a great affirmation of the high quality of our EMBA program." But he wasn't done stating the obvious, and went on to say that "it is also one more indicator that we are achieving our goal of becoming one of the nation’s best business schools.” Nothing radical in that pronouncement.
27 U.S. institutions were considered in the rankings, along with nine international ones.
Bottom line: if you want to get serious about being successful in the business world - and who doesn't? (well, O.K., there's this guy) - there are some mighty good programs available in the great state of Texas.

JM - You wrote: "After having been named the the 10th best MBA program in the country by the Financial Times back in October, the University of Texas at Dallas EMBA program received the 6th highest ranking in the nation from the Wall Street Journal on Dec. 10." This is entirely incorrect. UT Dallas EMBA was ranked by WSJ as #6 in TEXAS not the nation. More over, UT Dallas EMBA was not ranked in the top EMBA programs in the nation. UT Austin and SMU EMBA programs are the only two nationally ranked programs in the nation according to WSJ with UT being #15 and SMU being #16. I am including a link to the list for review: http://online.wsj.com/public/resource...

theo00: according to <a href="http://www.utdallas.edu/news/2008/12/12-001.php">this story</a> on the UT Dallas news center homepage (from which the post derives), <em>they</em> think the WSJ named them #6 in the nation - and #1 in the State of Texas - in terms of return on investment.
