Other Virginia schools listed in this year&rsquo;s Poets&amp;Quants rankings include the College of William and Mary&rsquo;s Raymond A. Mason School of Business and the University of Richmond&rsquo;s Robins School of Business.<\/p><p>&ldquo;This recognition highlights our faculty&rsquo;s expertise, our focus on innovation and the success of our graduates,&rdquo; said UMW College of Business Dean Filiz Tabak. &ldquo;It 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.&rdquo;<\/p><p>The Poets&amp;Quants ranking factors in alumni feedback from the Class of 2022. &ldquo;We think two years after graduation is an ideal time to ask alumni to evaluate their programs because they&rsquo;ve had ample time to gauge their degrees&rsquo; usefulness, but it&rsquo;s not so long ago that they&rsquo;ve forgotten the details of their experience,&rdquo; the methodology states.<\/p><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.
