U.S. News & World Report names School of Management a best graduate school

Clark University’s School of Management (SOM) has been ranked No. 96  among the 2024-2025 Best Business Schools – Full-Time MBA Programs by U.S. News & World Report.

Clark’s full-time MBA was one of ten programs in Massachusetts to earn a ranking, one of just eight in the state to crack the top 100, and the only program in central or western Massachusetts to make the list.

“Our full-time MBA continues to climb in the rankings as one of the top programs in the nation,” said David Jordan, dean of the School of Management. “Being recognized by U.S. News is a wonderful testament to our staff and faculty commitment to program quality and rigor, as well as our successful, supportive alumni.”

Clark’s full-time MBA ranking jumped ten spots to No. 96 from No. 106 last year, and it has previously named a top 75 program by global media organization Fortune. The School of Management has also consistently appeared in the Princeton Review’s annual listing of Best Business Schools.

“This milestone underscores the fantastic new energy I see in the School of Management,” added Joseph Salois, MBA ’00, current chair of SOM’s Alumni Advisory Council, and owner/president of Atlas Distributors of Auburn, Massachusetts. “It propels us forward toward sustained growth of the school and will open new doors and opportunities into the future.”

Designed for prospective students looking to further their education beyond college, the U.S. News Best Graduate Schools rankings evaluate programs in a variety of disciplines, including business, education, engineering, law, medicine and nursing.

“Deciding where to attend graduate school can be formidable, considering the wealth of schools with distinctive and quality programs,” said LaMont Jones, Ed.D., managing editor for education at U.S. News. “The Best Graduate Schools rankings and related content empower prospective students to choose the best fit for their educational needs and ultimately achieve career success.”
