Largest Business Schools by Enrollment in Specialized Master’s Degree Programs* 

In the AACSB 1999-2000 Business School Questionnaire, member schools were asked for the first time to report Specialized Master’s degree program enrollment data separately from MBA enrollment data. The types of programs in this growing category are diverse and have a range of titles, such as Master of Accountancy, Master of Arts in Organizational Behavior and Master of Science in Information Age Marketing. These programs now are responsible for an estimated one-quarter of all Master’s degree enrollment. Figures are reported through the voluntary participation of 405 member schools and represent student enrollment for business programs included in the institution’s regional accreditation, including off-campus business programs.
