According to Robert Franek, Princeton Review Senior VP-Publisher, “We recommend Oakland University as one of the best to earn an MBA. We chose the 294 schools in this book based on our high regard for their academics and our assessment of institutional data we collect from the schools. We also solicited and greatly respect the opinions of 25,000 students attending these schools who reported on their experiences at their schools on our 80-question student survey for the book.”The Princeton Review compiled the list based on its surveys of more than 25,000 students attending the 294 business schools in the book, as well as on school-reported data. The Review does not rank the business schools in the book on a single hierarchical list from 1 to 295.
