<p>USC ranks fourth on the list with 16 billionaires who have attended the private university as undergraduates.</p>

<p>Stanford ranked seventh (14 billionaires), while the University of California Berkeley came in eighth (12 billionaires).
The University of Pennsylvania took the number one spot on the top 20 schools list with 25 billionaires, followed by Harvard and Yale.</p>

<p>I wonder how many are graduates of Marshall or Wharton…many Stanford billionaires went to the grad programs (Google founders). And I wonder if the list includes drop outs.</p>

<p>The report states that at least 25 percent of the billionaires were international students and up to 65 percent had inherited wealth - for all universities.</p>

<p>Forbes just posted its top ten ranking that appears to include all alumni:</p>

<p>I am sure that most of the billionaire’s associated with the list are either SCA or Marhsall graduates.</p>

<p>Although I am not a graduate of Marshall, I feel that the program is highly underrated in most rankings. Marshall’s alumni are some of the most influential people on a regional, national, and global scale. While not every MBA or UG Business Admin major wants to be a billionaire, this is definitely proof that the program is among the elite. </p>

<p>The US News each program accordingly:
Harvard #1
UPenn#1
Stanfard#1
NYU#10
Columbia#8
MIT#5
Cornell#17
USC#27
Yale#17</p>

<p>For USC to be ranked #27 and having top 10 specialties in #8 Accounting #9 Entrepreneurship #11 Executive MBA #9 International Business and #11 Part-time MBA is insulting.</p>

<p>Proof is in the pudding, my friends. </p>

<p>Many universities do not have an undergraduate school of business. Marshall’s undergraduate school has been ranked much higher than the graduate school. </p>

<p>Do all the Marshall billionaires only go to undergrad and not grad?
Marshall undergrad’s always ranked in Top-10,
but grad’s always close to 30th.</p>

<p>Especially for business school (vs other fields), even if the alumni are
really just all rich, spoiled and inherited, Marshall grad should still have ranked way
higher than 30th…</p>
