FIU colleges of law and business rank high in Princeton Review
MIAMI, FL (Oct. 12, 2007) – Florida International University’s College of Law and College of Business Administration placed among the best in a Princeton Review ranking released this week.
For the first time, the College of Business has been included in “The Best 290 Business Schools for 2008.” For the second year in a row FIU’s College of Law made another appearance in the Review’s “Best 170 Law Schools.”
“We welcome these high marks in particular because they are based on student and faculty experience,” said FIU Executive Vice President and Provost Ronald Berkman. “These rankings are reflective of what we firmly believe we offer at FIU: a high-quality education at a great price in one of the most dynamic environments anywhere in the nation.”
The College of Business ranked number four in Princeton Review’s Top 10 rankings of Greatest Opportunity for Minority Students.
The five-year-old College of Law ranked second for the diversity of its faculty, and fourth best environment for minorities.
“I am gratified that the Princeton Review has recognized our achievement in creating an attractive atmosphere for a diverse faculty and student body,” said FIU College of Law Dean Leonard Strickman.
Ranking data was compiled over the past three years through surveys of hundreds of law and business school students and faculty members. The 80-question survey asks students about their school's academics, student body and campus life, themselves, and their career plans.
The Princeton Review talked to 18,000 students attending the 170 law schools and 19,000 students attending the 290 business schools around the country.
“Clearly, our students are confident they are getting the kind of education they need to be successful in their careers,” said Executive Dean of the College of Business Joyce J. Elam.
