Cook and Davis-Shaughnessy Halls on the campus of Saint Louis University are home to the Chaifetz School's nationally ranked graduate business programs. 

The Chaifetz School was recognized in this year’s rankings as a top school for MBA specialties in three disciplines based solely on peer assessment. The school returned to the top-10 in international business (No. 9) for the second time in three years. Entrepreneurship (No. 14) and supply chain (No. 16) also continued their history of top-20 rankings in 2022. 

“With world-renowned faculty and the dedicated work of three unique centers of distinction - the Boeing Institute of International Business, the Center for Supply Chain Excellence and the Chaifetz Center for Entrepreneurship - the Chaifetz School has long been a national leader in international business, entrepreneurship and supply chain education,” said Barnali Gupta, Ph.D., Edward Jones Dean of the Chaifetz School of Business. “We’re honored our AACSB-accredited peers continue to see us as among the nation’s best business schools in these disciplines.”

The school’s Professional MBA remained in the top-100 as a part-time MBA program (No. 89), while the One-Year MBA program received a top-75 full-time MBA program ranking (No. 72). Relaunched in 2018 to include a redesigned curriculum with a focus on data analytics, the 2022 rankings mark the first time the One-Year MBA program has been nationally recognized by U.S. News.

“We’re excited by the continued growth in our national rankings, but even more excited for what this means for the graduates of these programs,” said Gupta. “When our MBA rankings grow, it’s because our outstanding faculty are delivering the most relevant content, with a focus on successful outcomes for our graduates, and student success is what we’re all about at the Chaifetz School of Business.” 

Full-time and part-time MBA rankings from U.S. News are based on scores calculated from a range of factors indicating program quality. Those factors include corporate recruiter assessments, graduate placement rates and admissions selectivity.
