Ilitch School named a Best Business School by The Princeton Review

The Mike Ilitch School of Business is one of the nation’s most outstanding business schools, according to The Princeton Review. The education services company included the Ilitch School once again on its annual list, “Best Business Schools for 2021.”

“We recommend the Mike Ilitch School of Business at Wayne State University as an excellent choice for an aspiring M.B.A.,” said Rob Franek, The Princeton Review’s editor-in-chief. He noted that the company chose the schools for its 2021 list based on data from the company’s surveys of administrators at business schools during the 2019-20 academic year. The administrator survey, which numbered more than 200 questions, covered topics from academic offerings and admission requirements to data about currently enrolled students as well as graduates’ employment. 

Franek added, “What makes our Best Business Schools list unique is that we factor in data from our surveys of students attending the schools about their campus and classroom experiences. For our 2021 list we tallied surveys of more than 17,800 students at 244 business schools.”  The Princeton Review’s 80-question student survey asked students about their school’s academics, student body, and campus life as well as about themselves and their career plans. The student surveys were conducted during the 2019-20, 2018–19 and 2017–18 academic years.
