Jacksonville is one of the best places in the world to be if you are seeking a graduate degree in business, according to CEO Magazine.
Jacksonville University’s Davis College of Business and Technology and the Coggin College of Business at the University of Florida are included in the publication’s 2025 Tier One Global MBA Rankings.
In addition to its sixth consecutive Top Tier appearance, JU made CEO’s list of the best global doctor of business administration programs.
“We are honored to have our MBA program ranked among the best in the world. This recognition reflects the exceptional quality of our students, faculty and staff at Jacksonville University,” Barbara Ritter, dean of the Davis College, said in a March 24 news release.
Making this year’s list marks UNF’s third recognition by CEO Magazine, following 2023 and 2024.
“We are thrilled that the Coggin College of Business has once again been recognized by CEO Magazine as a Tier One institution among global business schools. This prestigious ranking is a testament to our unwavering commitment to academic excellence, innovative teaching and our strong collaborations with industry leaders. We are proud of the exceptional education we provide and the significant impact our graduates make in the global business community,” UNF President Moez Limayem said in a news release.
In determining rankings, CEO Magazine said it gave the most weight to the quality of faculty, followed by international diversity, class size, accreditation, faculty-to-student ratio, price, international exposure, work experience and professional development.
This year the publication considered 153 schools in 24 countries offering 309 graduate business degree programs.
