Manchester University College of Business hits Best Value triple play


Three programs in the Arthur L. Gilbert College of Business – accounting, finance and marketing – are the No. 1 “Best Value for the Money” in Indiana, and all three are ranked in the top 10 percent nationally by College Factual:

Based upon PayScale survey data, the company says students graduating from Manchester in each of those areas experience early-career and mid-career earnings that are above the national average.

College Factual rankings take into account the average yearly cost of the school, the average time students take to graduate, and the quality the school provides to students. 

Brad Pyrah“As far as I am concerned, we have the best faculty and staff imaginable in the Gilbert College of Business,” said Dean Tim Ogden. “They have a single-minded focus: doing whatever is in the best interest of the students.  Added to that is the great support the business college receives from other areas on campus such as the Registrar, Student Financial Services, the Business Office, and all of the folks in Student Affairs.  It is a real team effort. 

“Finally, and most importantly, Manchester has incredible students.  They are smart, they work hard, they accept responsibility, and they do not cut corners.  Together, this is a potent combination, and it produces results.”

The College of Business is moving into the new Lockie and Augustus Chinworth Center and is opening in time for fall semester.
