<p>The University of Washington has a good business school. It's accounting program is excellent, especially in tax accounting.</p>
<p>The Foster School of Business just raised $180M to be used for improving its faculty endowments, student scholarships, new programs and centers and new facilties and buildings.</p>
<p>"The Foster School’s expanded complex will add two new buildings. The first, PACCAR Hall, is scheduled to break ground in September for completion in 2010. PACCAR Hall will be a 135,000-square-foot facility offering a combination of classrooms, faculty office space, a 250-seat auditorium, student lounges and a boardroom. The second building will be completed in 2012." Building</a> Plans on Track for 2008 Groundbreaking - Michael G. School of Business - University of Washington - Seattle</p>
<p>I'd highly recommend Wisconsin, it's a great buy, has a good reputation around the world, is strong in business, and you will likely gain admission there. It's under $30,000/yr which is one of your requirements as well. The only negative being, it's really cold. But it's in a cool town (Madison). </p>
<p>If you want to get even colder, but even cheaper, and still a great reputation, University of Minnesota - Twin Cities changed their tuition. It's up there with Wisconsin in recognition, and is 8,000/yr cheaper in tuition. At Minnesota, non-residents get resident tuition + 2000/semester. It's a bargain, total direct costs/year will be around $21,000, and also Carlson is a great business school.</p>
<p>I would definitely apply to both - you may hate the big city of Minneapolis, but love Madison, you may love Minneapolis and it's accessibility, etc. Both IMO are the best values if you're paying full price.</p>
<p>Yes, the Univ of Florida has a great marketing program. In fact it is ranked 8th in the country by US News. Factor in the amazingly low cost of attending, and you can see why it is an extremely compelling option.</p>
<p>It's a good regional state school in an area surrounded by many more well-known schools: UMD, UVA, PSU, WV, Pitt, Temple, Delaware, UNC, tons and tons of privates. In state, it's got some value. But for OOS? Not that much.</p>
<p>I would suggest you look at some privates. Their price tag may be 5-10K more than the OOS rates of publics, but you'd qualify for more scholarships (need and merit). Few if any publics are generous with their financial aid to OOS students and much less to internationals.</p>
<p>Check out the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. They just cut out-of-state tuition to $2,000/semester above the in-state rate, so a total of $6,250 per semester or $12,500 annually for 2008-09. The Carlson School of Business is ranked #18 among undergrad business programs nationally by U.S. News. This is a real bargain for internationals and OOS students generally.</p>
<p>are you definitely staying in the US? i'm considering mcgill in montreal, which is about 15k / year and is a great school...its crazy though if youre a citizen and resident of quebec its only 3k / year</p>
<p>I go to UVA, and my tuition is about 20k/year. I have a couple small loans each at around a 5-7% interest rate, which would amount to me being in debt about 14k after I graduate. I'm out of state.</p>
<p>Really, we're both right though. There is no better school for internationals or OOS students who have to pay the full price tage in terms of value than Minnesota, which is a bargain with their new tuition rate.</p>
<p>^ A2Wolves6, sorry I missed your post, but no harm in repeating it: with its new tuition structure, Minnesota's an outstanding bargain for OOS and internationals. My guess is it will start to climb in the US News rankings, too, as word gets out and they start to attract a lot of OOS and international applications, driving up selectivity. It's like buying a rising stock: if you matriculate at Minnesota now, you're buying a degree that will be worth more in the prestige market by the time you graduate, and even more ten years from now.</p>

I recommend the College of Business Administration at the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse.

The University of Wisconsin at Whitewater may be a better choice as it used to have the best business program among all the former Wisconsin State University campuses. Besides, you may be eligible for a foreign student scholarship.</p>
<p>Quincy University has a decent undergrad business program. The tuition rate appears high but in fact they give out scholarships practically for breathing.</p>
<p>Quincy? Are you serious? It's 6th among Illinois schools in its own category (baccalaureate colleges). There's at least 2 dozen schools in the state that are clearly better. It's not even the 5th best Catholic college in the state. I can't speak of their business program specifically, but no way it compares to: Illinois, UIC, UIS, IL St, every directional state public, Loyola, DePaul, Bradley, UC & Northwestern econ, Lake Forest, Illinois Wesleyan and others.</p>
<p>The standard bearer of undergraduate business education is its accreditation by AACSB. Quincy lacks it. For the OP: To find the many fine schools, including reputable publics and potential bargain privates, holding AACSB accreditation go to aacsb.edu</p>
