“I’m thrilled about this year’s Fortune rankings,” says Norm O’Reilly, dean of the University of Maine Graduate School of Business. “I’m particularly pleased about where we stand in the new subcategories. Our MBA program is taught by world-class faculty at the University of Maine and the University of Southern Maine.”
