WILLIAM PATERSON UNIVERSITY’S COTSAKOS COLLEGE OF BUSINESS NAMED ONE OF BEST 296 BUSINESS SCHOOLS BY PRINCETON REVIEW
William Paterson University’s AACSB-accredited Cotsakos College of Business is one of six business schools added to the Princeton Review’s 2009 edition of Best 296 Business Schools. The annual guide to graduate business schools is well known for its college rankings based on how students rate their schools.
“In the profile on the Cotsakos College of Business, the Princeton Review editors noted that the College augments the traditional M.B.A. curriculum with a number of experiential learning programs, which add depth and relevance to the academic experience,” says Sam Basu, dean of the Cotsakos College of Business. “The editors also noted other unique features, such as our internship program, the Russ Berrie Professional Sales Lab, and the Financial Learning Center, which hosts one of the few active trading rooms found in an academic institution.”
In order for a school to be included in the book, it must meet Princeton Review’s criteria for academic excellence, as well as allow surveys of its students. The 80-question survey asks students about themselves, their career plans, and their school’s academics, student body, and campus life. More than nineteen thousand students were surveyed for the 2009 guidebook.
William Paterson M.B.A. students described the program as led by “excellent professors who truly care about your success.” One student described faculty as “accessible, helpful, challenging, and enlightening,” while another said, “I love the new challenges I must face with each class because what I am learning, I use everyday in my profession.”
The Cotsakos College of Business at William Paterson University received AACSB accreditation in 2005, signaling its arrival into the elite group of AACSB-accredited collegiate schools of business. Housed in the University’s technologically advanced facility at 1600 Valley Road, the College offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs that help students develop the skills, knowledge and values necessary to succeed in today’s highly competitive and complex business world.
