<p>So I am looking at the University of Richmond as a good alternative for business - finance. But I would like to know how prestigious the Robins School of Business is as of today. I know that it improved a lot in the last couple of years. SO please help me with this. How prestigious is URichmond's Robins School of Business and how does it stand with schools like BC, NYU, UPENN, Babson, Penn State, Notre Dame, UVA, Cornell, Vilanova, Emory, UNC, UMichigan, Georgetown...</p>
<p>Business Administration, its ranked 61 nationwide MBA (dont get hopeful) (usnews rankings)</p>
<p>That puts it below every college in MBA, except for UNC, which its tied for 61 with.</p>
<p>That is not an extremely accurate representation of the overall business program, but we can extrapolate.
If you got into UPENN, Cornell, Georgetown, or any college on that list, most are better than U Richmond’s program.</p>
<p>This is a loaded question. Overall, it is way below the top tier and next tier of schools. I think it depends what your expectations are and what you’re looking to do after. It would be an uphill battle going after the most competitive jobs (investment banking, strategy consulting, etc.). Not impossible, but generally very difficult.</p>
<p>In the end, most people nationally know that UVA and UNC have top undergrad business programs. Richmond isn’t on the radar, so don’t expect the pedigree of the program to give you any sort of advantage. That being said, a lot will be determined by what you make of it. (I’m sure there are successful grads from the program)</p>
<p>Theres Wharton, MIT-Sloan and everyone else.</p>
<p>
Good grief! UCB and UMich are tied with MIT for #2 (USNWR) and UVA and NYU are tied for #5. (UVA = #2 on Bloomberg). I hardly think Wharton and MIT are the only two top programs. </p>
