<p>Does anyone know what undergraduate schools that have a good business program? I'm interested in majoring in business and I want to know the schools that will be good for my potential major.</p>
<p>I'm a high school junior btw.</p>
<p>There are many undergrad schools with good business programs. You need to be more specific. What are your stats? Budget? What interests you–size, location, activities, etc.?</p>
<p>The best school depends on your objective:</p>
<p>1) What do you want to study? Some schools have great departments in one area (finance), and aren’t as strong in other areas (marketing).</p>
<p>2) Where do you want to work afterwards? Many companies and firms recruit locally. A Big Four firm in California may consider hiring an entry level hire from a school in Florida, but chances are, they are going to look at local talent before they do that.</p>
<p>Seriously? Google is that way ↑</p>
<p>Where do you hope to work and what do you hope to do?</p>

<p>What you need to know is does your dream company send recruiters to a school. </p>
<p>Here’s where google helps.</p>
<p>Check out public info on the executives at your dream companies. Where did they go to business school? Also, in order to advance at most companies, the MBA is more important than the undergrad school.</p>
<p>You could go to a liberal arts school with no business program - major in economics or math then get an MBA and be just fine.</p>
<p>Do homework. Lots of it.</p>
<p>Penn-Wharton</p>
<p>Wharton is not an ideal recommendation because so few are able to get accepted there.</p>
<p>Once again, Google is that way ↑</p>
<p>I have the same problem.
SAT score: 2000
AP classes: 6 (scores 4+) </p>
<p>Any ideas?</p>
<p>Wharton is definitely the best. Then follows MIT, and then Michigan, Berkeley, NYU, CMU, Virginia etc.</p>
<p>This thread is pretty humorous. First like everyone has said, you gotta be more specific in your criteria. Also, the people that are making absolute claims about what the top schools are clearly don’t know what they’re talking about. “Rankings” have a level of relativity, so to rank schools with absolute certainty is foolish.</p>
<p>For example…</p>
<p>Stern. A large reason for Stern’s high rank is its proximity to Wall Street. Go to say Atlanta, and you’ll be on par with people from the likes of Emory, which is on no one’s “top list” of UG business programs. As stated earlier, location is a key factor.</p>
