NJIT Management School Joins Fortune Ranking at No. 62 in U.S.
NJIT’s Martin Tuchman School of Management joined the Fortune top business schools and MBA programs list for the first time, ranked No. 62 nationwide.
With its high-tech slant and proximity to Wall Street, the Newark institution’s management department is ranked near the top this year, compared to more than 500 schools with AACSB accreditation and more than 1,000 colleges offering MBA degrees overall.
“This year’s list recognizes institutions that demonstrate excellence across academic quality, career outcomes, selectivity and return on investment,” the publication stated. “Your placement reflects the strength of your program and the meaningful impact you are having on current and future business leaders. We are proud to feature your school among this year’s honorees.”
“With hundreds of MBA programs across the country, identifying the best options can be challenging,” editors added. “Fortune’s 2026 ranking prioritizes measurable career outcomes, particularly compensation and employment success, while still recognizing academic strength, competitiveness, and program stability.”
“By weighting salary and employment most heavily, we emphasize real-world return on investment — a central concern for MBA candidates. At the same time, admissions metrics such as GMAT scores, GPA, yield, and acceptance rate help contextualize the competitiveness and academic caliber of each program’s student body.”
The 36-credit MBA is offered in-person and online and with concentrations in finance, entrepreneurship, marketing and management information systems. Students can also develop a custom concentration.
U.S. News & World Report also recently cited Martin Tuchman School of Management’s MBA in its top 100. In addition, The Princeton Review ranked the school highly — and the best in New Jersey — for student entrepreneurship.
“This ranking reflects our consistent focus on what matters most: career outcomes, industry relevance and academic quality," said Oya Tukel, dean of the Tuchman school. "We have worked deliberately in these areas, and it is encouraging to see that steady progress is recognized at the national level."
