I got accepted into the Sports Management program and was wondering how UMass Amherst’s business school compares to others and if anyone else is currently a student and can give me their two cents on it. thanks.
From Wiki:
Rankings
Undergraduate and Graduate
Isenberg School has been ranked number one undergraduate public business school in the Northeastern United States.**[1] The school’s undergraduate business program was ranked by BusinessWeek in 2016 as the 33rd best program[21] in the country, and the 14th[24] best among public universities. Poets & Quants ranked Isenberg 34th among Top 50 Undergraduate B-Schools for year 2016.[25]
At the MBA level, U.S. News and World Report ranked the full-time program 74th overall, and 41st among publics for 2015;[26] the part-time MBA 16th overall, and 9th among publics in 2015;[17][27] The online MBA for 2017 is ranked at 12th[28] and 11th among publics in 2016—and the largest online MBA among the top 25 institutions.[29]
The Financial Times ranked online MBA for 2017 at 3rd worldwide[13] and 1st in the United States.[30]
f2000sa pointed out the straight up facts if you want to see it that way
I am not a UMass Amherst student (yet) but let me throw you my 2 cents on what I have heard. I usually hang around my community college and UMass Lowell (friends go there) and people respect UMass Amherst a lot! Kids in my community college for the majority that wants to major in business always say Isenberg or NYU. The advisors talk highly of UMass Amherst and even higher for Isenberg students so they make us focus on going through MassTransfer, maintaining high GPA, and completing the prerequisite classes for UMass. Overall, I get the vibe that UMass Amherst is some sort of legendary school for my community college especially for Business, Nursing, and Computer Science.
So the rest is up to you 
@LilBowl20 thank you for the great info!
UMass Amherst is considered a very strong program for sports management, specifically - beyond the overall rep of the business school as a whole. It’s also a Division I school, which can help re: getting internships and jobs in the field, because you can get experience with D1 programs on campus while you study.
@RoaringMice that is a great point, thank you for your comment
I know this is late, but I thought I might put this out there since I’m actually an Isenberg student (though not specifically a sport major). Our sport program is #1 in the nation and #2 globally (sport management is a fairly rare major as is, so there isn’t an extreme amount of competition, which is probably why we’re so high up).
