Rawls College of Business Grad and Undergrad Programs Nationally Recognized

Modern Healthcare's 2008 survey of business graduate schools for physician-executives has ranked Rawls' MBA for physicians program at 19 among schools offering similar MBAs. Programs are ranked on five factors: length of time to complete (the shorter the program, the higher the rank); cost of total tuition (the lower the tuition, the higher the rank); number of days students must spend on campus (the fewer the days, the higher the rank); age in years of each program (the older the program, the higher the rank); and number of total graduates. The five rankings are totaled, with the lowest score getting the highest final rank.
