Other Virginia schools listed in this year\u2019s Poets&amp;Quants rankings include the College of William and Mary\u2019s Raymond A. Mason School of Business and the University of Richmond\u2019s Robins School of Business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis recognition highlights our faculty\u2019s expertise, our focus on innovation and the success of our graduates,\u201d said UMW College of Business Dean Filiz Tabak. \u201cIt showcases UMW as a top destination for students seeking a rigorous, hands-on business education with small class sizes, personalized attention and strong career outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Poets&amp;Quants ranking factors in alumni feedback from the Class of 2022. \u201cWe think two years after graduation is an ideal time to ask alumni to evaluate their programs because they\u2019ve had ample time to gauge their degrees\u2019 usefulness, but it\u2019s not so long ago that they\u2019ve forgotten the details of their experience,\u201d the methodology states.<\/p>\n<p>Mary Washington alumni would recommend their alma mater, with a 9.5 out of 10 ranking, and also said that it was worth it, with a score of 9.4. Alumni also gave both teaching quality and faculty mentorship a 9.4.<\/p>\n<p>UMW ranked 95th for career outcomes in the Poets&amp;Quants listing and 88th for admission standards.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"1100\" data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:7,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.umw.edu\\\/news\\\/2025\\\/03\\\/17\\\/umw-makes-prestigious-poetsquants-rankings-for-undergrad-business-schools\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:230672515}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 1100px; height: 499px;\" data-original-width=\"1100\" data-original-height=\"499\" > <div class=\"gallery-group images-1\" style=\"width: 710px; height: 499px;\" data-original-width=\"710\" data-original-height=\"499\" > <div class=\"tiled-gallery-item tiled-gallery-item-large\" itemprop=\"associatedMedia\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/2024\/01\/30\/baseball-executive-alum-encourages-students-to-take-risks-build-relationships\/jin-wong-5\/\" border=\"0\" itemprop=\"url\"> <meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"706\"> <meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"495\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" data-attachment-id=\"98815\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/01\/TR_UMW_JinWong30-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1796\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Tom Rothenberg&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D5&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Jin Wong speaks the the UMW Baseball team&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1705617361&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;2024\\\/Tom Rothenberg&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;26&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;900&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Jin Wong&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/01\/TR_UMW_JinWong30-300x211.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/01\/TR_UMW_JinWong30-1024x719.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/01\/TR_UMW_JinWong30-scaled.jpg?w=706&#038;h=495&#038;ssl=1\" srcset=\"\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/01\/TR_UMW_JinWong30-scaled.jpg 2560w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/01\/TR_UMW_JinWong30-300x211.jpg 300w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/01\/TR_UMW_JinWong30-1024x719.jpg 1024w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/01\/TR_UMW_JinWong30-768x539.jpg 768w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/01\/TR_UMW_JinWong30-1536x1078.jpg 1536w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/01\/TR_UMW_JinWong30-2048x1437.jpg 2048w\" width=\"706\" height=\"495\" loading=\"lazy\" data-original-width=\"706\" data-original-height=\"495\" itemprop=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/image\" title=\"\" alt=\"UMW alumnus Jin Wong speaks to the Mary Washington baseball team in the Leigh Frackleton Classroom in the College of Business.
