Jones School Continues Upward Climb

The Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Management made the top 30 in the latest ranking of the nation’s business schools by U.S. News & World Report. In its recently published “America’s Best Graduate Schools,” U.S. News & World Report placed the Jones School 27th in the rankings, tied with the University of Florida. Harvard earned the top spot among the nation’s schools, while Stanford and the University of Pennsylvania were tied for second place.

The Jones School was ranked No. 1 for graduates employed at three months and is the least expensive private business school in the top 50.

Last year the magazine ranked the Jones School 31st, tied with Washington University in St. Louis and Arizona State. The school was ranked 34th in 2001, 35th in 2000, and 36th in 1999.
