Few business schools in the world are as highly acclaimed as the Zarb School of Business. It’s nationally recognized by an impressive list of rankings and publications. Here are a few of its most recent distinctions:

‘Top 25 online MBA Programmes’ (The Princeton Review)
‘Best Business Schools’ in the U.S. (U.S. News & World Report)

The school was also listed amongst the top one fifth percent of the best schools for business majors in the U.S., according to the PayScale College Salary Report and the PayScale College ROI Report (2016-2017). Needless to say, the business programmes offered at the Zarb School offer meaningful returns on investment.

High-powered business degrees for 21st-century professionals

There’s plenty to set this business school apart, from its comprehensive facilities to its world-renowned faculty and staff. Furthermore, only one out of ten business schools in the U.S. offer students the chance to earn accreditation in both business and accounting through AACSB – and the Zarb School happens to be one of them.

The course offerings are flexible, customisable and exceptionally well-regarded. These are a few of the extensive degree options graduate students enjoy:

Traditionally run, on-site programmes with a wide range of concentrations
Online and hybrid MBA programmes
Saturday Executive MBA programme

At both undergraduate and graduate levels, students are able to pursue high-powered dual degrees that combine, for example, a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) with an MBA or a Master of Science (MS) in business. It’s also possible to pursue a combined Juris Doctor (JD) and a Master of Business Administration (MBA). You’ll find all the dual-degree options on their website.

The school’s facilities are supportive of an outstanding education. Perhaps most notable is the Martin B. Greenburg Trading Room, which is equipped with 34 Bloomberg terminals. This is actually one of the largest trading rooms in the U.S., and these terminals provide students with access to the same data and analytics relied on by Wall Street professionals.

Earn an MBA in the heart of Manhattan

The Zarb School’s accelerated hybrid MBA programme is an impressive example of what 21st-century business schools can accomplish. Students complete much of their coursework online. But they spend one evening a week taking classes in Manhattan – New York City’s premier business and finance district.

The programme is open to students who have at least three years’ professional experience. They then enter a cohort of no more than 25, ensuring they enjoy ample access to instructors and facilities.

This programme takes 28 months to complete, and there are two concentrations available. One is strategic business management, which explores in-depth topics related to corporate management. The second concentration is strategic healthcare management, which prepares students to step out as leaders in the complex healthcare world.
