for an idea</p>
<p>Raven - UChicago doesn't have a business school, however, many big and little business firms come seeking UChicago students because they know the graduating students will have qualifying critical skills (quantitative, critical thinking, etc.). Ugrad business school isn't always necessary to find jobs in business.</p>
<p>In my own respective opinion:</p>
<p>Stern
Ross
MIT
Cornell
Notre Dame
Boston College
Lehigh</p>
<p>a lot of the schools you listed don't have undergraduate business programs such as yale, uchicago, northwestern. but if you want to major in business and take mostly business classes, i would have to say michigan-ross or nyu-stern. they're both comparable in terms of prestige and job prospects, but i'd have to say i like michigan better because you have a campus life. you should visit nyu and you'll know what i'm talking about.</p>
<p>i would say mit is VERY prestigious also, but for someone that is horrible in the sciences and math, it wouldn't be such a great choice for myself.. haha. and plus, i wouldn't think the mit student body is the most liveliest i think :P</p>

<p>However, an economics degree from these schools would likely open more doors for top consulting than a BBA from most of the undergrad business schools on that list. </p>
<p>is Wharton the only undergrad business college amongst all the ivies? what do u think of Cornell's AEM?</p>
<p>Wharton is the only undergrad ivy. yep.</p>
<p>but I think Babson has one of the best business program....but nothing else. u graduate as a business genius...but dont get much of the liberal arts or university experience</p>
<p>Cornell's AEM is still considered a business program, though it's not a business college. It's a respectable program.</p>
<p>"Ugrad business school isn't always necessary to find jobs in business."</p>
<p>Yeah, no sh it? Thing is, he asked for business schools. Read the thread title</p>
<p>"However, an economics degree from these schools would likely open more doors for top consulting than a BBA from most of the undergrad business schools on that list."</p>
<p>Right. I'd take Chicago over any other school in the world. Problem is: op asked for ug business.</p>
<p>Don't forget Carnegie Mellon's Tepper School of Business, which does have an undergraduate major in business. It is very top notch.</p>
<p>Also, not all business schools have the same curriculum. For example, Carnegie Mellon does not have an accounting major.</p>
<p>Personally, before I would pay for NYU, Boston College and some others, I would consider Baruch College. Yes, it is part of the City University of NY and is less selective than NYU or Michigan, alhtough admission to its honors program is very tough.</p>
<p>In addition, it is a very fine school and has MUCH lower tuition than the schools noted above. Baruch also has one of the best alumni networks in the US. It is also well- connected for jobs in NYC. However, Baruch doesn't have a campus. It consists of one or two buildings.You won't get the "normal" college experience. However, for at least 15K less per year, it does offer a sterling education and connections for a bargain basement price. I should note that New Yorkers pay about 5K per year. How fabulous is that?</p>
<p>Many moons ago, and I do admit that am geting old, Baruch was the business school of choice for most New Yorkers. NYU was for those kids that didn't get into Baruch. I think that the admission stats have changed but that doesn't negate the quality of Baruch ,even today, for the price offered.</p>
<p>does Business week's rank for best undergrad. programs necessarily that accurate? for example, Chicago is a good school, but its business program wasn't ranked....does that mean its program sucks?</p>
<p>It's because Chicago doesn't have an undergraduate business program, as stated above.</p>
<p>chicago has a business major, i think either economics or something, but it's not ranked...it doesnt have a business school</p>
<p>It has a business school just no undergrad program or major. Economics is a social science, not a vocational field, and doesn't fall under business usually. Most of the schools with the highest ranked economics programs are not listed on that ranking. Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, Chicago, and Northwestern are examples and their economics are all in the top-10.</p>
<p>what's the difference between economics and business?...i thought they are about the same ...</p>
<p>no, economics is a social science. its benefits like society as a whole. business is a vocational science. it benefits individual and companies.</p>
<p>wow....</p>
<p>economics = theoretical; business = applied</p>
<p>Economics wouldn't really teach you anything you need to know about accounting, marketing, human resources, etc. It would only help in finance.</p>
<p>emorys got a fantastic bba program too.</p>
