One of the things that Tucson is most proud of is its educational opportunities & offerings.  We've got highly competitive public schools (including BASIS Charter - consistently one of the nation's best ranked), highly selective private schools & specialized academies, Pima Community College - one of the largest in the west, and the granddaddy of them all:  The University of Arizona, which is ranked 25th in the country by The Washington Monthly.

There are many schools within the U of A that are highly regarded, several on a global basis.  The College of Optical Sciences, the Department of Astronomy & Steward Observatory are considered "world class."  What a lot of people don't know is that the Eller College of Management at the University of Arizona Business School is also one of the highest regarded on the planet.

Financial Times latest rankings has the Eller College program rated as 5th among U.S. public universities and 41st in the world (up from 57th last year).  Ask any MBA:  "What does ROI mean?"  Considering that the cost of education at University of Arizona & Eller College of Management, the Return On Investment is positively stellar!

Congratulations Eller College and U of A:  your example is yet another point of pride in Tucson Education.
