TEMPE, Ariz., Sept. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The newest U.S. News & World Report rankings are out, and once again the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University improved its position.

In spring and early summer, U.S. News asked deans and senior faculty members at each of the 514 undergraduate business programs accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business to rate the quality of all programs. Average peer assessment scores were used to calculate the rankings.

In March, U.S. News also released the latest graduate school rankings. The school is ranked Top 25 nationwide for part-time MBA programs, while 12 MBA specialties and the school's Full-time MBA are ranked in the Top 30. In total, U.S. News ranks 30 W. P. Carey programs and disciplines among the Top 25, the most of any business school in the country.
