Poets&Quants (P&Q) has ranked the University of Delaware’s Alfred Lerner College of Business and Economics programs in its recent lists of top online MBA (2019) and undergraduate business programs (2018). The Lerner College online MBA was ranked 19th and the Lerner College undergraduate program was ranked 61st in the country. For both programs, Lerner received high scores for student experience.

“Lerner continues to do well in rankings from Poets&Quants,” said Lerner College Dean Bruce Weber. “The transparent, data-driven methodology combines admissions selectivity, the student experience as reported by alumni via surveys and career outcomes of the most recent graduating classes. These factors are what Lerner does especially well, and what prospective students care about.”

"Our Career Services programs particularly help Lerner stand out in terms of our student experience and career outcomes,” said Lerner College’s Senior Associate Dean of Academic Programs Jack Baroudi. “From our Road to Wall Street and Madison Avenue programs to mentoring and job search assistance, we provide our students with the resources they need to succeed after graduation."

P&Q is a website focused specifically on business schools, and it offers a yearly ranking of various business school programs. Unlike other organizations that rank business schools, P&Q focuses on three core issues for their rankings: “the quality of the raw talent coming through the door, what a school does with that talent over four years and finally, how the marketplace responds to the graduates coming off campus.” The soundness of this ranking is part of why UD’s Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness (IRE) has included P&Q in its list of UD Primary Rankings.
