TEMPE, Ariz., Sept. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The newest U.S. News & World Report rankings are out, and once again the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University improved its position.

The school also improved in 10 department rankings, including jumping to the No. 2 spot in the historically strong supply chain management degree. The undergraduate business analytics program made the Top 5, making it the top destination for business analytics in the Southwest.

"We're very proud of these new rankings, and think they represent the consistent work W. P.

Average peer assessment scores were used to calculate the rankings.

In March, U.S. News also released the latest graduate school rankings. The school is ranked Top 25 nationwide for part-time MBA programs, while 12 MBA specialties and the school's Full-time MBA are ranked in the Top 30. In total, U.S. News ranks 30 W. P. Carey programs and disciplines among the Top 25, the most of any business school in the country.
