INFORMATION FOR
William Paterson University’s Cotsakos College of Business is featured in the Princeton Review’s 2011 edition of its book The Best 300 Business Schools. The annual guide to graduate business schools is well known for its college rankings based on how students rate their schools. This is the third year in a row that the Cotsakos College of Business has been included.
“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 Global Financial Services Institute, which includes the Financial Learning Center, 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 2011 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, and they all seem devoted to and knowledgeable in their subject area,” 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.” One student described the College as “a warm, friendly environment for learning.”
