University of Colorado-Boulder's Leeds Business School ranked in a tie for 79th among U.S. colleges offering master of business administration programs, according to a new study by U.S. News that examined 367 schools.

The Boulder school has an annual in-state tuition rate for full-time students of $49,500 and an enrollment of 194 full-time students. 

U.S. News ended up ranking only 131 schools out of the 367. The ranked schools provided adequate data on their MBA programs for the news publisher to calculate the results, which are based on a weighted average of indicators such as test scores, recruiter assessments, acceptance rates and student grade-point averages.

All the schools examined are accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International.
