UT's Sykes College makes best schools list

TAMPA — For the eighth year in a row, The University of Tampa's Sykes College of Business has been named as an outstanding business school by The Princeton Review. The college made the Review's list of the Best 295 Business Schools in the world.

The Princeton Review created the ranking based on its surveys of 20,300 students attending the 295 business schools during the 2012-2013, 2011-2012 and 2010-2011 academic years. The Princeton Review doesn't rank schools included in the top 295.

In the The University of Tampa write up, students are quoted as saying that at the Sykes College of Business “the academic experience is excellent. The school has built an environment that pushes the students to talk to each other, and ask each other for support,” and that “The University of Tampa does an excellent job preparing you for the business world.” Students also appreciate the “cheap tuition,” and that “most of the classes require heavy interaction instead of just the instructor speaking.” Lastly, students also praise the “beautiful campus” with “a business building that is top notch, with up-to-date facilities.”
