Message from the Dean

We are in the midst of another vibrant and dynamic semester at the Naveen Jindal School of Management. I am thrilled to share exciting updates that reflect our commitment to excellence, innovation and preparing our students for the future.

Last fall, we celebrated a monumental milestone by breaking ground on our third building. This state-of-the-art, 125,000-square-foot facility will house our undergraduate programs and executive education operations, featuring cutting-edge classrooms, labs, and lecture studios. Designed with collaborative indoor and outdoor spaces, it will foster interaction and innovation among students, faculty, and staff. Set for completion in summer 2026, this addition will bring our total facilities to nearly half a million square feet, further enhancing our ability to deliver world-class education.

This fall, we celebrate JSOM’s 50th Anniversary with a Celebration Dinner to commemorate five decades of excellence, innovation and impact while recognizing the extraordinary contributions of our alumni, donors and friends who have shaped the Jindal School’s past, present and future.

Our rankings continue to affirm our position among the nation’s elite business schools. Our latest honor comes via Bloomberg Businessweek’s 2025-26 Best B-Schools rankings, as our Full-Time MBA program surged upward, now ranking No. 12 nationally among public universities and 32nd overall. This recognition comes on the heels of a multitude of others. Earlier this year, our Online MBA Program was ranked No. 1 in the nation according to Poets & Quants, and Financial Times ranked our MBA program No. 4 worldwide in Value for Money in 2024.

With almost 10,000 students from 70+ countries, nearly 400 faculty members, and 35 degree programs, the Jindal School remains a global hub for business education.
