Arizona State University's W. P. Carey School of Business has been recognized in recent rankings, reflecting its commitment to access, excellence, and innovation. The Financial Times Business Education Research Insights report placed the school at No. 20 worldwide and No. 15 in the U.S. for business research, surpassing institutions like Duke University, the University of Southern California, and Oxford University.

Ohad Kadan, Charles J. Robel Dean and W. P. Carey Distinguished Chair in Business, commented on the significance of this achievement: "This research ranking is very meaningful for us. The Financial Times focused on the reach, relevance and impact of that research and not solely on the number of publications, as other research rankings do." He emphasized that their priority is to create impactful business knowledge addressing global challenges.

In addition to these accolades, W. P. Carey's research was ranked No. 5 among U.S. public schools by the Financial Times, placing it ahead of the University of Washington, the University of Michigan, and UCLA.

Jeffrey Wilson, associate dean for research at W. P. Carey, praised their faculty: "We know we have some of the brightest researchers in the world who are working ceaselessly to create beneficial business knowledge," adding appreciation for recognition from the Financial Times.

Poets&Quants recently ranked W.P. Carey's MBA program as No. 1 for entrepreneurship in the U.S., with its Executive MBA rising to No. 18 nationally from last year's No. 29 position—also placing it fifth among U.S public schools.

Kate Eaton, associate dean of graduate programs highlighted their curriculum's strengths: "Our graduate curriculum...provides extensive opportunities for students to develop an entrepreneurial mindset."

Fortune also named W.P Carey as No 29 full-time MBA program nationwide.

Reflecting on these achievements Kadan said: "We have been hard at work at W.P Carey to create and reinforce our ideal that access and excellence can and should go together...I am grateful for our wonderful faculty and staff who made these accomplishments possible."
