Princeton Review names EMU's Biz School one of the best

The Princeton Review is reaching out to Eastern Michigan University’s College of Business at about the same time the college is reaching out to one of India's top business schools.

The Princeton Review has named EMU's Business School as one of the most outstanding business schools for the fifth consecutive year. It may share that designation with 295 other schools but that's out of a pool of more than 1,000 for 2009.

EMU's Business School, founded in 1964, offers both undergraduate and master's degrees. It is also signing a partnership with the Xavier Institute of Management in Bhubaneswar, India, to offer a dual master of business administration (fancy words for MBA) program.

That agreement allows Xavier students to do half of their studying in India and the other half at EMU. Doing so will allow the student to graduate with an MBA from both institutions of higher learning. This partnership will also allow the students to finish their MBAs in three years or less.

Although only 21 years old, Xavier is ranked No. 3 among private business schools and No. 8 of all business schools in India, according to Outlook magazine of India. It only admits 120 students out of the 18,000 applicants each year.
