Business Undergraduate

<p>I wanted to know out of the following Universities, which one is the best for Business for Undergraduate.</p>

<p>Emory University (Goizeuta)
University of California - Berkeley (Haas)
New York University (Stern)
University of Virginia (McIntire)
University of Michigan (Ross)
University of Illinois
University of Southern California (Marshall) / WBB Program</p>

<p>Group 1: Ross, McIntire, Haas, Stern</p>

<p>Group 2: Emory, USC, Illinois</p>

<p>It really depends on your specific major/intended career, though.

<p>remember that for Berkeley Haas you have to apply in your sophomore year and they only take half of the applicants</p>

<p>Ross has a similar situation</p>

<p>So does McIntire.</p>

<p>Michigan does have a pre-admit program to Ross:</p>

<p>Intending to do a Major in Business only. Which one of them would be the best ?
A good academic and then a job career is what I’m looking forward to !</p>

<p>Just use this list. Then factor in your cost of attendance and the impressions you received upon visiting the schools.</p>

<p>Yes, and to see the full list, you must subscribe to US NEWS College Compass at $29.95 per year. It is not free to view the entire list with all the stats etc.</p>

<p>Here is BusinessWeek’s 2011 ranking of undergrad b-schools. It’s free and it’s as good as any other list for the rankings obsessed.</p>

<p>^^^^Any listing of undergraduate business programs that does not have Wharton on top, as well as having programs go from number 20 to number 7 in one calendar year, should not be taken too seriously.</p>

<p>I would echo the posters who noted that not all of these schools have direct admit to the b-school (and Ross has very few). If you are certain you want business, I’d lean towards a college where you have a direct admit to the b-school. If you consider a school where you didn’t get into the b-school as a freshman, make sure that you do the research to find out the requirements for admission to the b-school as a sophomore. I know a couple of people who went to UM and did not get into the b-school so they had to either transfer or stay at UM with a major they didn’t really want.</p>

<p>Agree with rjkofnovi. US News is really the only ranking system we use in business.</p>

<p>I agree with rjkofnovi to a point…</p>

<p>If we’re simply talking about prestige here, Ross, Stern, Haas and McIntire are pretty even. Those 4, together with Sloan and Wharton comprised the top 6 business schools for undergraduate level. Opportunities-wise, all four are targets of ibanks/finance/MC. Regional biases may also apply here. For example, Haas is quite a strong brand name in the West Coast. So if you’re seeing yourself living in SF or LA in the future, a Haas degree would bring you places. The alumni network of Haas grads in the West Coast is very strong. Similarly, Stern is dominant in NY, McIntire in the South and Ross in the Midwest. Heard Ross has also a good network in WS.</p>

<p>This is for those that are interested in more high-level quantitative and analytical skills in business while receiving liberal arts or engineering degrees: check out the Kellogg certificate at Northwestern. Graduates are more technically prepared than many MBAs. In the Rotman International Trading competition against mostly Masters of Financial Engineering/Mathematics students, the certificate students finished 4th and 7th in the last two years.
