Our review

Eller built a top-five MIS department before “analytics” had a job title, and that faculty depth still differentiates the MBA. Tucson’s aerospace-and-mining technology base plus Phoenix’s boom ninety minutes north absorb the graduates. Carey gets the semiconductor headlines; Eller quietly owns the data lane.
