WASHINGTON — Howard University School of Business has been named to Bloomberg Businessweek's ranking of the best U.S. business schools of 2019-20. Howard University’s Master of Business Administration (MBA) program has been featured on the prestigious ranking for the past several years. Howard University, ranked No. 45, is the only ranked historically black college or university on the list.

“It is an honor that the business school has consistently been ranked among the top schools by Bloomberg Businessweek,” says Dean of Howard Business School Barron H. Harvey. “We are happy to receive this prestigious recognition and know that it is a testament to the success of our faculty, staff and students.”

The School of Business offers a traditional full-time and part-time MBA program, as well as an online Executive MBA and several certificate programs. Also, Howard business school offers a Global Trilateral MBA program which provides students with the opportunity to travel abroad and experience global consulting. Recently, Howard’s EMBA program was ranked the No. 2 best program of its kind by College Consensus. The School of Business was also named 2019 Best Business Program by HBCU Digest.

“I applaud Dean Harvey and the School of Business faculty and staff for their tireless efforts to provide our students with world-class academic training,” says President Wayne A. I. Frederick. “Our students are well-equipped to graduate from Howard and meet the challenges of the workplace while exceeding any employer’s expectations or embarking on their own path of entrepreneurship.”

Bloomberg Businessweek’s ranking is based on data compiled from more than 9,000 students, 14,920 alumni, 900 corporate recruiters, and compensation and job-placement data from each school.

In addition to the overall ranking, schools are separately ranked on four component indexes — compensation, networking, learning, and entrepreneurship — providing students more ways to evaluate what schools have to offer them.
