<p>The</a> Best Undergraduate Business Schools: The Winners - BusinessWeek</p>
<p>Wharton is the most prestigious and its students will probably garner the most opportunities. After that, I think it’s a fight between NYU (Stern), UVa (McIntire), and MIT (Sloan).</p>
<p>this came out a very long time ago lol.</p>
<p>But i do agree with most of the rankings</p>
<p>For academic quality Wake Forest is #1. We are hurt by student surveys, because of the rigorous nature of our business school (Calloway), but this should change soon. We also have a great Dean who was the former CEO of PepsiCo.</p>
<p>Yes but wake is blown away by other schools in terms of opportunities</p>
<p>wharton, stern, and haas. i also heard the certificate program at northwestern/kellogg is extremely well regarded - friend’s younger sister graduated with a certificate and now works as an analyst for a top private equity firm. </p>
<p>that said, econ programs at other schools such as uchicago, sloan, and princeton outshine most undergrad bschool programs. the lines between finance and econ are blurring anyway.</p>
<p>^there is a person on CC that kept dimissing Kellogg certificate a while back and she is supposed to have 20+ years in IB. she would insist it’s not a target even I showed her that JPM recruiting website showed otherwise (on-campus interviews, not just resume-drop like for most other schools). kellogg cert website says the rising seniors (class of 2009) “obtained summer internships at top companies in various industries, including investment banking, management consulting, actuarial consulting, stock analysis, hedge funds, fixed income sales and trading, private equity, mergers and acquisitions, securities, private banking, and healthcare investment banking.” i showed that to her also yet she talked like she knew it all. thanks for sharing about your friend’s younger sister.</p>
<p>^who’s the person you’re talking about (hmom5 maybe)? </p>
<p>I remember looking at Northwestern and specifcally, the Kellogg certificate and the program looked pretty legit, so much so that I was actually intimidated by the academic rigor required to not only get into the program, but to also successfully complete it.</p>
<p>lol i was thinking of hmom also</p>
<p>Wharton (Penn) is typically considered the best. Cornell, Haas (Cal), McIntire (UVa), Ross (Michigan), Sloan (MIT) and Stern (NYU) are also all excellent. </p>
<p>There are many other good programs. Carrol (Boston College), Guizetta (Emory), Kelley (Indiana), Marshall (USC), McCombs (UT-Austin), McDonough (Georgetown), Mendoza (Notre Dame), Olin (WUSTL), Tepper (Carnegie Mellon). </p>
<p>As baycvroberts accurately says above, one does not have to major in Business to find a good job upon graduation from college. Majoring in Economics or Mathematics from any top university would be as effiective as majoring in Business at a top Business schoo.</p>
<p>Why is it that you have to pay out of state tuition for Cornell’s business school??? I thought private schools didn’t do that?</p>
<p>Cornell AEM is a public funded department.</p>
<p>UNC’s undergraduate biz school was ranked #6, I believe, well ahead of many of the others listed on here.</p>
<p>
Charlotte is the second largest financial city in the United State next to New York City.</p>
<p>don’t get why NYU is so low on those rankings = /</p>
<p>In this area I think the US News rankings are spot on. Wharton is the clear winner followed by MIT/Berkeley/Michigan/NYU. The BW rankings are based on student surveys and therefore have extremely limited value.</p>
<p>yea i agree because little regionally known schools in BW like bringham young were ranked ahead of nationally known undergrad b-schools and that seemed a little funny to me… IMO</p>
<p>Do you think UPenn is a well-known university??? (I had never even heard of Upenn until I found out that Wharton was not the name of a university)</p>
<p>Basically, is Upenn one of those schools where if you introduce yourself and say you went to Upenn, someone would be like “WOW!”</p>
<p>besides harvard and oxford, there is no other university that is extremely well known. Even YPS are far far behind.</p>
<p>^^ There are a handful of internationally renowned universities and they certainly have brand power but you dont have to go to oxford or HYPSM to have a good job in the business field but it certainly doesnt hurt :)</p>
