Good rankings for Arizona State University's W. P. Carey School of Business reinforces the school's commitments to access, excellence and innovation.
This week, the Financial Times Business Education Research Insights report ranked the school No. 20 worldwide and No. 15 in the U.S. for business research, ahead of Duke University, the University of Southern California and Oxford University.
"This research ranking is very meaningful for us. The Financial Times focused on the reach, relevance and impact of that research and not solely on the number of publications, as other research rankings do," said Ohad Kadan, Charles J. Robel Dean and W. P. Carey Distinguished Chair in Business. "The societal impact of our research is a priority. We aim to create meaningful business knowledge that helps address some of the world’s most pressing challenges."
The Financial Times ranked W. P. Carey research No. 5 among U.S. public schools, placing the largest business school in the country ahead of the University of Washington, the University of Michigan and the University of California Los Angeles.
"We know we have some of the brightest researchers in the world who are working ceaselessly to create beneficial business knowledge," said Jeffrey Wilson, associate dean for research at W. P. Carey. "We are very proud of our faculty and grateful to the Financial Times for recognizing their work."
In addition to the research ranking, last week Poets&Quants ranked the school’s MBA program No. 1 for entrepreneurship in the U.S. Additionally, the school's Executive MBA was ranked No. 18 in the U.S., up from No. 29 last year, by Poets&Quants — also placing No. 5 among U.S. public schools. This ranking accompanied one from the Princeton Review and Entrepreneur magazine, naming the school's graduate programs No. 18 for entrepreneurship in the country.
"Our graduate curriculum, whether in the MBA or a specialized master's degree program like the Master of Science in Entrepreneurship and Innovation, provides extensive opportunities for students to develop an entrepreneurial mindset that will serve them whether they are starting their own company or innovating within existing organizations," said Kate Eaton, associate dean of graduate programs.
Finally, W. P. Carey has also been named the No. 29 full-time MBA by Fortune, rounding out a week of excellent rankings news for the school.
"We have been hard at work at W. P. Carey to create and reinforce our ideal that access and excellence can and should go together. We are the largest business school in the U.S. and among the very best," Kadan said. "I am grateful for our wonderful faculty and staff who made these accomplishments possible."
