Quinnipiac University has an outstanding business school, according to The Princeton Review.

The New York-based education services company features the school in the 2009 edition of its "Best 296 Business Schools."

"We select schools for this book based on our high regard for their academic programs and offerings, institutional data we collect from the schools, and the candid opinions of students attending them who rate and report on their campus experiences at the schools," said Robert Franek, vice president of publishing for The Princeton Review.

"Best 296 Business Schools" has two-page profiles of the schools with write-ups on their academics, student life and admissions, plus ratings for their academics, selectivity and career placement services. Quinnipiac students comment on the school's exceptional resources and professors who go above and beyond their duties.

The editors praised the business school's career and placement resources and quoted one student who said the school "has an extremely devoted team that works diligently to host network receptions, maintain a career Web site, assist with resumes, and regularly communicate with students."

The editors also noted Quinnipiac's high-tech resources, such as the Terry W. Goodwin '67 Financial Technology Center. The 1,500-square-foot simulated financial trading room has dual-monitor computer workstations allowing students to access real-time financial data, practice analytical finance methods, conduct trading simulations, analyze economic databases and develop financial models.

In the "Survey Says. . ." sidebar for Quinnipiac's profile, The Princeton Review lists topics Quinnipiac students agree about most. The list mentions solid preparation in teamwork and presentation skills. The Princeton Review's 80-question survey asked students about themselves, their career plans, and their schools' academics, student body and campus life.

The Princeton Review does not rank the schools in the book on a single hierarchical list from 1 to 296, or name one business school best overall. Instead, the book has 11 ranking lists of the top 10 business schools in various categories. Ten lists are based on The Princeton Review's surveys of 19,000 students attending the 296 business schools profiled in the book.
