Rollins EARLY ADVANTAGe MBA at Crummer School Ranked 37th Nationally, 20th among Private Universities by Forbes Magazine

Program Remains #1 in Florida

Winter Park , Fla. – The Early Advantage MBA (EAMBA) program at the Rollins College Crummer Graduate School of Business was ranked number 37 nationally (20th nationally among private universities) for return on investment by Forbes magazine. The Early Advantage MBA program moved up 10 slots in this biennial ranking and remains number one in Florida. This marks the third consecutive time the Crummer School was recognized by Forbes.

“We are extremely pleased with our performance and to be ranked along side some of the best schools in the country such as Dartmouth, Stanford and Harvard,” said Crummer School Dean Craig McAllaster. “Once again, Forbes magazine has confirmed what our faculty, students, alumni and corporate recruiters already know, that the Crummer School at Rollins College prepares MBA students to be managers and leaders in a way that provides our stakeholders with real value and a world-class business education of distinction.

The Forbes study was published in the September 3 issue of the magazine. “Based on return on investment, this ranking provides an unbiased evaluation of the economic value of a Crummer School degree,” said McAllaster. Unlike other surveys, Forbes conducted a comprehensive ranking of business schools that compared the cost of attaining an MBA to the monetary rewards for obtaining the degree. In computing the rankings, Forbes calculated that a Rollins full-time MBA degree, through increased earning potential, pays for itself in slightly more than three years and provides as much as a 72 percent return on investment.
