MBA Students Help Place Trident Among Nation’s Elite Schools
Trident ranked at #15 in Graduate Programs’ Fall 2014 “Online Business Grad Rankings,” rubbing elbows with schools such as Florida State University, Pepperdine University, and The George Washington University. The rankings are based on data culled from ratings from current or recent graduate students posted on graduateprograms.com. Rankings cover a variety of student topics such as academic competitiveness, career support, financial aid, and quality of network. A given graduate program is not ranked until a minimum threshold of graduate student surveys is completed for that program.
