Our review

Howard’s MBA punches far above its size in recruiting attention: consulting firms and banks that struggle to diversify their associate classes compete openly here, producing placement rates and salaries that embarrass the school’s ranking position. The 21 Savage-endowed financial-literacy programming and Google partnerships added recent heat. The class stays small; the offers don’t.
