US News & World Report released its 2011 list of Best Business Schools today, with Vanderbilt . Outside of the regular rankings, however, there are some other interesting facts to note that lie hidden within the numbers:

• Owen ranks #19 among private U.S. graduate business schools, and is one of seven programs in the top-30 to focus only on full-time graduate management education (the others include Stanford, Harvard, Tuck, Columbia, Yale, and Duke). All of the others in the top-30 have robust undergraduate and part-time programs. Personally, I have found this to be an unexpected surprise of attending a private school. Coming from Texas A&M where there are 45,000 students, it has been great to be able to have access to the school’s resources without waiting in line. The professors, the printers, the library, the career center, the computer lab are all available at your disposal. This is not something that I necessarily took into consideration when looking at graduate schools, but it is definitely one of my favorite things about our program.
