The profile of the Providence College School of Business at the undergraduate and graduate levels continues to rise nationally.

The school’s undergraduate business program moved up to #52, a jump of 11 spots, in the 2018 rankings published by Poets & Quants for Undergrads. The online publication ranks fewer than 85 business schools.

PCSB’s MBA Program climbed again in the most recent rankings of part-time graduate business programs by U.S. News & World Report. It rose nine spots in the annual ranking for 2020, to 109, reflecting a leap of 57 spots in two years.

PCSB was also ranked #16 on Money Magazine‘s 2018 list of Best Colleges for Business Majors, based on the school’s high ranking on Money‘s Best Colleges for Your Money list, its large proportion of business majors, and the top salaries earned by its graduates.

In a related highlight, PCSB announced it is launching an innovative semester abroad opportunity in spring 2020 in conjunction with PC’s Center for Global Education. The PC in Shanghai program will operate in partnership with East China Normal University. It will offer a robust portfolio of course work — taught in English — that fulfills requirements for all four business majors, as well as an English-speaking and credit- bearing internship.
