Are you looking on this page? I don't see it listed in the top 50.

Of course Haas is better, but I've been told that Leavey has a good reputation here in the Bay Area. I think Mariam knows a bit about that.

<edit> Ah, I just found what you were referring to. From this page:

MBA program jumps to 11th best in U.S.

U.S. News rankings come in year of increased applications, enrollment growth

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - April 5, 2003 - The MBA program of Santa Clara University's Leavey School of Business has soared in the annual rankings of the nation's top 20 part-time programs in the country, rising to 11th, according to U.S. News and World Report.

I know several people who went there including my husband. It's an excellent program. I think the general consensus is that while a degree from Leavey is very well respected in the the Bay area, outside this geographic area, Haas is better known. But as far as quality of education, you won't go wrong with either school.

PS: I bet it's #11 as far as part time programs are concerned. I don't think they mix full time and part time programs into the same list of rankings.
