Cal State San Bernardino’s Master of Business Administration (MBA) program has once again been recognized as a Tier One MBA program in CEO Magazine’s 2025 Global MBA Rankings, marking it as one of the premier business programs worldwide. This recognition reflects CSUSB’s commitment to academic excellence, student success, and impactful business education.

CEO Magazine, a leading global business publication, has been profiling top business schools since 2008 and launched its influential Global MBA Rankings in 2012. The 2025 rankings represent the magazine’s most expansive evaluation to date, featuring 284 MBA programs from 24 countries and 153 schools.

Unlike many rankings that rely on brand perception or legacy reputation, CEO Magazine’s methodology is fully rooted in fact-based criteria. Factors considered include quality of faculty, international diversity, class size, accreditation, faculty-to-student ratio, affordability, international exposure, student work experience, professional development opportunities, gender parity, and program delivery models. The goal is to provide potential students with a clear and unbiased performance benchmark when navigating an increasingly saturated market.

“We’re thrilled that our MBA program is ranked year-after-year as a Tier One MBA by CEO Magazine,” said Taewon Yang, CSUSB MBA program director. “This recognition speaks to the excellence of our faculty, the strength of our curriculum, and our deep commitment to empowering students for success.”

CSUSB’s MBA program includes a fully online Executive MBA, an on-campus Executive MBA, and a traditional on-campus MBA with a variety of concentrations. Students can focus their studies on fields such as accounting and internal auditing, cybersecurity, entrepreneurship, finance, management, marketing, global supply chain management, human resources management, and hospitality management. Each pathway is designed to offer flexibility, affordability, and real-world relevance for working professionals and aspiring business leaders alike.

“The graduate programs of CSUSB’s Jack H. Brown College of Business and Public Administration are consistently ranked among the best in the world, firmly establishing us as a clear leader in business education in Southern California,” said Tomás Gomez-Arias, dean of the business college.
