“Besides performing with academic excellence, these students worked hard to secure jobs, starting very early in their MBA programs,” said Bethany Cooper, director of corporate relations and MBA services in the School of Business Administration. “They possess strong networking skills and understood the importance of making the job search a priority alongside their studies.”<\/p>\n
Drown and McDonald graduated from UM’s Patterson School of Accountancy, and Pak earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from the UM business school. Blewett graduated from Southern Methodist University and the University of South Carolina Law School. House holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Mississippi College.<\/p>\n
The UM business school granted MBA degrees to 55 candidates at spring commencement.<\/p>\n
Attesting to the school’s reputation for attracting outstanding students and the success of job placement for its graduates, Cooper pointed to two recent national rankings: U.S. News and World Report placed the school at No. 83 in its annual ranking of the nation’s nearly 1,800 undergraduate business programs and GetEducated.com’s national editorial review team ranked the online MBA program 13th out of 133 competing online MBAs nationwide.<\/p>\n
