The school placed exceptionally well in the employer satisfaction component of the survey with a rank of No. 26 overall.

“Our continued outstanding employer satisfaction is coupled with a remarkable 26-place jump in our job placement ranking this year,” said Paul Tesluk, dean of the UB School of Management. “It shows that the comprehensive career resource services we provide our graduates allows them to move seamlessly into professional positions upon graduation.
