If you have not heard of it, The Princeton Review is a standardized test preparation company known for its college rankings.
They primarily help students prepare tests such as the the SAT and other aptitude tests such as Advanced Placement exams. They also give advice about college admissions and rank schools all over the world.
To do rankings, the company surveys students online with 80 questions that ask about the students, their activities and future career plans as well as their academics. They also try to get a picture of the student body and campus life.
Mercer’s Master of Business Administration program in the Eugene W. Stetson School of Business and Economics has, for the fifth year in a row, been ranked fifth for the Greatest Opportunity for Women in the United States.
Their rankings are based on the percentage of female students (55% full-time and 65% part-time for the Macon campus), the percentage of female faculty (38%), the opinions of the students regarding academic resources and the level of support that women get in the program ranging from classes and coursework to case studies about women in business.
Support programs include peer tutoring, academic support programs and minority support groups.
According to a press release, “We are gratified to once again be ranked among the top business schools in the nation and for this recognition of our outstanding track record of, and commitment to, diversity,” said Dr. D.
