Top 10 Business Schools

<p>What Are The Top Ten Business Schools In The Us? Undergrad & Graduate???</p>

<p>I don't know off the top of my head, and I don't have a subscription to the rankings....</p>

<p>But I'm guessing the list includes Penn, MIT, Berkeley, NYU....then probably Michigan and possibly Notre Dame.</p>

<p>The best for graduate school are Harvard, Stanford, Penn (Wharton), MIT (Sloan), Northwestern (Kellogg), Chicago, Dartmouth (Tuck), UC Berkeley (Haas), Columbia, and NYU (Stern)</p>

<p>For undergrad, Wharton, Ross, and Haas, and Michigan (Ross) are generally considered the top 4.</p>

<p>Also-be careful comparing starting salaries when there has been no attempt to normalize them geographically. 80K in rural Tennessee is more than equivalent to 100K in New York City.</p>
