Tulane University’s A.B. Freeman School of Business climbed significantly in this year’s U.S. News & World Report’s Best Business Schools rankings.
The part-time Professional MBA experienced the most significant gains, jumping 19 spots to No. 49.
The full-time MBA program rose to No. 53 — its highest position in more than 15 years.
Four of Tulane’s other business programs entered the rankings this year.
The Executive MBA debuted at No. 39, followed by the Master of Finance at No. 46, the Master of Business Analytics and AI at No. 54, and the Master of Accounting at No. 56.
The 2026 ranking was released on April 7 and is calculated based on factors such as academic metrics, employment rate, post-graduation salary and opinions from corporate recruiters.
“More than numerical ranks, I’m proud of the measurable improvements we’re achieving in terms of student quality, employment outcomes, and the reputation of our programs among recruiters and academic peers,” Business School Dean Paulo Goes said in Freeman News.
