How does Umass Isenberg School of Management rank?

Question

How reputable and respected is this school as far as business schools go?

undergrad.

Answer 1

UMass Amherst is ranked by USNWR #96 National Universities.

In the graduate b-school rankings by USNWR, they are not in the top 50.

A solid top 100 - but not in the top 25 if that's what you're after.

Answer 2

Admissions to that school are quite competitive, because it's a state school, and thus the tuition is low for Mass residents. It's AACSB accredited, which is extremely important for MBA programs. But in terms of rep or name recognition, it's below many of the other MBA programs in its region - partly because, I think, it is a state school, and there are so many elite private MBA programs in that region that the fine one at UMass Amherst gets a bit lost in the mix. So I'd rank it below BU and Babson, but maybe on par with Bentley, if not slightly above Bentley. It's *way* above Lesley College and schools of that sort. In Western Mass., it's definitely the strongest program available.

Answer 3

Undergrad, or MBA?

Isenberg is not included in the MBA rankings. US News reports that the average salary of their graduates is about $67K. Compare this to six figure salaries of schools ranked in the top ten or salaries of about $85K for schools ranked between 20-30.

BusinessWeek rankes it #58 for undergraduates. You have to remember that many of the best MBA programs have no undergraduate B-School -- so that probably puts their MBA program somewhere areound 100. It would be a decent place to go as an undergraduate -- though there are several better alternatives.
