ROCHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Simon Business School’s MBA program continues to get recognition for excellence, vaulting six spots to 27^th out of 149 programs in the U.S. News and World Report 2024 ranking released today.

"We are proud of our ascent on U.S. News' Best Business School MBA list," said Sevin Yeltekin, dean of Simon Business School. "This ranking is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our faculty, staff, and students. We are committed to providing our students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed and companies with talent who can help them achieve their goals and manage their challenges.”

Simon Business School's success is partly due to its high admissions standards, strong performance in student outcomes, higher salaries, excellent job placement rates, and impressive bonuses.

The Simon Business School also continues to bolster its undergraduate program, recently receiving a generous gift of $6.7 million from alumni Evans Lam. As part of a gift to the University of Rochester, the Simon gift is earmarked in part to develop a new, preeminent space for undergraduate students to gain greater access to Simon’s resources and community.

Simon Business School was the first MBA program in the U.S. to offer a STEM-designated option to students in any specialization, allowing them to select courses that align with their career ambitions.
