INDIANAPOLIS — Marian University’s School of Business continues its upward momentum, earning national recognition in the latest Poets&Quants ranking of undergraduate business programs.
The school is ranked No. 74 overall, a two-spot rise from last year, and is now among the Top 15 Catholic undergraduate business schools in the country.
More importantly, Marian stands out for what happens beyond the classroom.
Among Catholic business schools, Marian ranks:
- #1 in internships, with 100% of students completing at least one before graduation
- #1 in experiential learning, reflecting a curriculum grounded in real-world application
- #1 in graduate salary satisfaction, a key indicator of post-graduation success
Together, these distinctions highlight Marian’s strength in preparing students for meaningful careers through hands-on learning and practical experience.
“Our focus has always been on preparing students not just to graduate, but to succeed,” said Greg Rawski, dean of Marian’s School of Business. “These outcomes, highlighted by exceptional placement rates, teaching excellence, and meaningful experiential learning, demonstrate our commitment to educate and form transformational business leaders who are trustworthy, healthy, inquisitive, and skilled.” The School of Business also continues to earn strong marks for teaching quality, ranking No. 6 among Catholic institutions.
Marian’s emphasis on experiential learning is reflected in both the classroom and in competitions. Students consistently perform at a high level nationally, including recent top finishes in sales, marketing, and finance competitions.
Graduates continue to see strong career outcomes. Among the most recent class, 98.9% of students secured employment within 6 months of graduation, supported by hands-on experiences, faculty mentorship, and career development resources like The Exchange.
This latest recognition reinforces Marian’s position as a Catholic business school where experience, purpose, and career readiness come together.
