(Jan. 30, 2012) -- The UTSA College of Business, College of Liberal and Fine Arts and College of Public Policy received national recognition in seven graduate categories by the Eduniversal International Scientific Committee based in Paris, France.

The programs ranked included the UTSA Master in Public Administration (16th), Master in Communication (22nd), MBA in Information Systems (23rd), MBA in International Business (30th), MBA in Management of Technology/Project Management (30th), MBA in Real Estate Finance (67th) and MBA in Tourism Destination Development (89th).

The rankings were based on an 18-month survey of 12,000 master's and MBA programs in the top 1,000 business schools in nine geographical regions. Conducted 2009-2011, the survey covered 153 countries and considered three criteria: (1) reputation of the program; (2) salary of the first employment of the graduates; and (3) satisfaction of the students.

The goal of the ranking was to objectively compare various educational institutions and programs to help students and academic professionals choose among foreign universities for their studies.

"Given our international focus, we are pleased to be included in this inaugural ranking of graduate programs by Eduniversal International," said Daniel Hollas, acting dean of the UTSA College of Business. "The programs ranked include our areas of specialization, and the ranking furthers our mission of becoming a top-tier international business school."
