According to the Bloomberg
BusinessWeek website, students who have recently
graduated or are nearing graduation are surveyed independently
by Bloomberg about all aspects of their academic
experience.
 The Bloomberg ranking calls Wright State's Part-Time MBA program the third best in Ohio behind only programs at Ohio State and Akron.
To determine which programs are tops in academic quality, Bloomberg evaluates data provided by each school from six equally weighted measures: average GMAT score, average student work experience, the percentage of teachers who are tenured, average class size in core business classes, the number of business electives available to part-timers, and the percentage of students who ultimately complete the program.
The student survey contributes 40 percent of the final ranking, with academic quality and post-MBA outcomes contributing 30 percent each.
