<p>Top</a> Undergraduate Business Programs 2010 - BusinessWeek</p>
<p>ranks the top undergrad b-schools</p>
<p>seems like a pretty good ranking system they use. discuss</p>
<p>Seems good i think that some of the rankings are weird, Gtown moved up only one spot and its rankings go A+ B A+ i just think they’re a top 15 (definitely) maybe top ten program
I think that Stern Business also is in the top 5 and they didn’t go up enough
I think that BC went up way too much and Emory is way overrated but biggest surprise has to be Georgetown, i thought that would shoot up</p>
<p>hahahah wait Georgetown got a B in facilities and services…Theyre new building is the nicest business school building in the country (maybe 2 to Hunstman at Wharton) so how does that work?</p>
<p>these rankings suck.</p>
<p>top tier: wharton, sloan</p>
<p>second: stern, haas, ross, AEM</p>
<p>3rd: marshall, mcintire, mccombs, tepper</p>
<p>4th: all else</p>
<p>^^you’re one to talk</p>
<p>Apparently, BusinessWeek has learned the formula for success from USNWR: rank colleges and order them differently every year. Drama sells.</p>
<p>i am one to talk. that ranked one medoza joke of a school gets no love on the street</p>
<p>skittle where you see Gtown and Stern ?</p>
<p>Businessweek gives Emorys undergrad b school much love… which is good since it is vastly underappreciated by like USNEWS.</p>
<p>How is Wharton not number one? I thought it was the “best” business school in the country? Then again I don’t trust USNWR so much…</p>
<p>EDIT: Read the title wrong lol different magazine
I’m still surprised Wharton isn’t number 1 though. I never knew Notre Dame had such a good program. Oh well I’m not planning on going into business. You learn something new every day :)</p>
<p>they aren’t one wharton should be the rankings are bad</p>
<p>“hahahah wait Georgetown got a B in facilities and services…Theyre new building is the nicest business school building in the country (maybe 2 to Hunstman at Wharton) so how does that work?”</p>
<p>Ross has a pretty new building as well. I’m sure there are other schools who have upgraded their facilities too. Any rating that shows ND above Wharton is a complete joke. Businessweek is a complete joke.</p>
<p>rainbow,
Wharton is very good at placing students into the finance world. Almost certainly the best of the undergrad business schools for this. But as a lot of folks have discovered over the past couple of years, Wall Street is not the game it once was and it has never been the only game in town. </p>
<p>For general management, # 1 ND and # 2 U Virginia are terrific places as they produce more well-rounded and more grounded students who actually know how to work effectively with others and don’t automatically expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter.</p>
<p>People automatically assume that ND is worse than Wharton because it isn’t as dominant on Wall Street. </p>
<p>This might come as news to some CCers but not every biz student plans to become an IBanker (gasp!). As hawkette pointed out above, ND and UVA have excellent programs in general management, and ND is also one of the nation’s premiere schools for accounting. Notre Dame has a great undergraduate focus, an amazing alumni network, and very bright students; unless these rankings are solely focused toward Wall Street placement, I see no reason why ND shouldn’t be number one.</p>
<p>By prestige and selectivity standards (SAT scores, yield/admit rates, etc.), ND (Mendoza) is not top ten, let alone #1. UVa (McIntire) is probably top ten, but definitely not top 5, let alone #2.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>So you judge undergraduate programs by the “well-roundedness” and “groundedness” of their students? These seem to be quite subjective, if not arbitrary and random criteria. Care to explain how you’d measure such things?</p>
<p>As an aside, I don’t believe ND grads feel less entitled than, say, MIT or NYU grads. If anything, the opposite is true. At least that’s been my personal experience.</p>
<p>Imo, UT Austin (McCombs) is underrated. According to U.S. News, it is the top accounting school in the country. I’m glad that Santa Clara University (Leavey) is mentioned, but I think it should be higher also.</p>
<p>When it comes to undergraduate b-school, Wharton is like Harvard. You can rank it 1 or 11 and it doesn’t matter, because it is the best as defined by the collective knowledge of the body public.</p>
<p>^ Yeah… even though most agree that Yale and Princeton offer superior UG experiences in nearly every respect, Harvard will still be number one in the eyes of the public.</p>
<p>that does have truth to it bagels, but businessweek never said wharton wasn’t #1 “in the eyes of the collective public”. It simply used a systematic methodology that takes many different factors into account and then ranks on that basis…and when the smoke cleared wharton wasn’t #1.</p>
<p>Recruiter survey accounts for 20% of the ranking. BW did not disclose the mix of corporations responding to the survey but the year-to-year results certainly raise a lot of questions. Following are the 2010 recruiter survey ranks of the top 10 programs compared to their respective ranks in 2009:</p>
