The University of New Haven’s Master of Business Administration (MBA) program has been ranked No. 100 in the United States and No. 301 globally in the latest QS Global MBA Rankings, adding to a growing list of national recognitions for the University and its signature academic programs.
The University of New Haven is tied for No. 2 among MBA programs in Connecticut, alongside Fairfield University. The University of Connecticut is ranked No. 73. No other Connecticut MBA programs are included among the programs ranked by QS.
The global recognition of its MBA program follows the University’s recent inclusion for the first time in U.S. News & World Report’s National Universities category, where the University was ranked No. 276 in the U.S. in the publication’s latest Best Colleges rankings. The elevation to the national category in the U.S. News rankings comes after more than a decade in its regional universities, north, rankings. Together, these outstanding recognitions exhibit the growing national profile of the University and its career-focused academic programs.
“We are very proud to offer an MBA that is respected nationally and internationally, and this ranking is another indication of the significant amount of momentum we are building across the University,” said Jens Frederiksen, Ph.D., president of the University of New Haven. “Our MBA program reflects what we believe graduate business education should be: rigorous, relevant, globally focused, and deeply connected to the needs of today’s employers and the industries driving economic growth. To see our program recognized among the best in country and the world is a tremendous accomplishment for our faculty, our students, our alumni, and the entire Charger Community.”
The QS World University Rankings is the world’s most read university ranking. QS evaluates more than1,500 institutions globally using measures such as employability, thought leadership, and return on investment as well as academic and employer reputation surveys.
The University of New Haven’s MBA is offered through its Pompea College of Business, an AACSB-accredited business school that emphasizes experiential learning, technology, innovation, and career preparation. The Pompea College has long been at the forefront of offering STEM-designated business programs that equip students with technical skills while providing opportunities to apply classroom learning through internships, consulting projects, investment initiatives, entrepreneurship programs, and additional real-world experiences.
“This ranking is a testament to the strength of the educational experience we provide and the work of our outstanding faculty to ensure our MBA continually responds to the rapidly changing business environment,” said Brian Kench, Ph.D., dean of the Pompea College of Business. “We are equipping students with the skills, experiences, confidence, and connections that will prepare them to lead in a world increasingly shaped by technology, artificial intelligence, globalization, and innovation. This recognition is an important affirmation of that work.”
The University recently broke ground on Martin Family Hall, a new 50,000-square-foot, four-story, donor-funded on-campus home for the Pompea College. The facility will feature advanced learning environments, including an AI, Business Analytics & Financial Trading Room, executive boardroom, sales institute, and business pitch classroom, further expanding opportunities for experiential and applied learning.
“We are creating tremendous momentum and increasing the visibility of our commitment to deliver an unparalleled return on investment for our students,” said President Frederiksen. “We are investing in programs, people, facilities, and partnerships that will prepare the next generation of business leaders to make an impact in Connecticut and around the world.”
