LMU's Part-Time MBA Program Ranked 6th in the Nation

by Bloomberg Businessweek

The part-time MBA program at Loyola Marymount University's College of Business Administration was ranked No. 6 among the
nation's top programs and No. 3 in the West in a survey released by Bloomberg Businessweek magazine. This year's ranking is
an increase of seven places in the national survey, and two places in the regional survey.
The Bloomberg Businessweek rankings are released every two years and are based on a number of factors, including a survey
of current students, academic quality assessments and post-MBA outcomes. This year's survey assessed programs at more
than 78 business schools.
"These rankings reflect the commitment and investment of the CBA community to academic excellence," said Dennis Draper,
dean of LMU's College of Business Administration. "This achievement shows us that we are on the right path to continued
success."
These rankings are a testament to our incredible faculty, our visionary college leadership, and most of all, our dedicated staff,
students and alums, said Jack Gregg, Associate Dean of Graduate Programs at LMU. In a competitive market with lots of
options, we have been able to attract and retain top students that make the learning experience exciting, productive and fun.

Comparative Management Systems (CMS)

The CMS Program is offered to MBA students as part of the integrative experience degree requirement and is an opportunity to
gain firsthand exposure to global management concepts and practice. The program is highly recommended for all MBA students
interested in conducting business in the modern global economy.
The CMS Program requires a year of study and concludes with travel to 3-5 countries in a specific region of the world. In each
country, students meet with business executives, visit local attractions and learn about the business environment, social culture
and customs.
The substantial group experience obtained through CMS helps students develop their leadership skills. The international
component benefits those seeking careers in almost any field and identifies students as informed, confident, self-sufficient
managers who are able to learn quickly and adapt to changing conditions. Students should cite CMS on their resume and in job
interviews, and should discuss how their overseas experience made them more aware, responsible, organized and innovative
professionals.
"CMS was one of the highlights of my time in the LMU MBA program. What I learned about business and about myself as a
person was priceless and the bonds I formed with other team members and classmates will last a lifetime. I never imagined I'd
ever publish anything but my group published a chapter in a book. CMS was an experience that I'll never forget and one I
recommend for every person who enrolls in LMU's MBA program!" Laura Cepeda, CMS 2012
