Rankings

The school's Executive MBA was ranked once by Financial Times and the Master of Public Administration (MPA) in Non-Profit Management is ranked among the top 25 of the United States by U.S. News & World Report.[2] As one of the most entrepreneurial schools in the nation,[3] it was ranked #25 by The Princeton Review [4]

In 2012, the Journal of Product Innovation Management published a study that ranked the school number 1 in the world for research in innovation management.[5][6] However, the methodology of the study and the independence of its authors was questioned.[7][8] In March, 2015, the journal published an "expression of concern" regarding the study. However, four independent scholars had later reviewed the article and found its methodology to be acceptable.[9]

The School is also home to a number of centers and institutes such as the L.P. Cookingham Institute of Urban Affairs and the Midwest Center for Nonprofit Leadership.
