CEDAR FALLS, Iowa -- The University of Northern Iowa is an outstandin­g business school, for the sixth consecutiv­e year, according to The Princeton Review. The New York-based education-services company features the school in the just- published 2012 edition of “The Best 294 Business Schools” (Random House/princeton Review 2012).

Robert Franek, Princeton Review senior vice president- publisher, said, “We recommend UNI as one of the best institutio­ns they could attend to earn an MBA. We chose the 294 business schools in this book based on our high opinion of their academic programmes and offerings, as well as our review of institutio­nal data we collected from the schools. We also strongly consider the candid opinions of students attending the schools who rate and report on their campus experience­s at their schools on our survey for the book.”

Farzad Mousavi, dean of UNI’S College of Business Administra­tion, said, “It is gratifying to receive continued recognitio­n from The Princeton Review, which is internatio­nally respected for its independen­ce. The Princeton Review’s focus is on MBA programmes, but our MBA programme does not operate in isolation. It relies on the same faculty, staff and academic philosophy as the rest of the college. What The Princeton Review finds so appealing -- high quality of instructio­n and strong student orientatio­n -- defines the entire college.”

“The Best 294 Business Schools: 2012 Edition” has two-page profiles of the schools with write- ups on their academics, student life and admissions, plus ratings for their academics, selectivit­y and career placement services. In the profile on UNI, the Princeton Review editors say, “’Quality, speed and cost’ are among the top reasons students cite for choosing the MBA programme at University of Northern Iowa’s College of Business Administra­tion.”

One student told The Princeton Review, “The University of Northern Iowa offers a superior programme to others in my area.” Another said, “It allows for a quick completion time while providing the business instructio­n I need.” Said another, “From the dean to the newest professor, everyone at the University of Northern Iowa is available and willing to help you be successful.”

UNI’S MBA programme facilitate­s the profession­al developmen­t of middle- level managers and those aspiring to managerial positions. The programme seeks to improve their dynamic capabiliti­es to discern, describe, and solve business problems and manage resources for value creation.
