<p>They had the top 5 schools that had the highest concentration in Economics:</p>
<p>1) NYU
2) UChicago
3) Syracuse
4) Carnegie Mellon
5) MIT</p>
<p>This top 5 was NOT in terms of quality of education in Economics like the list sbove.</p>
<p>I can't believe that UChicago's economics department isn't ranked tops (or atleast in top3) in terms of quality of education.</p>
<p>legend - you can't switch to another school within penn at this point. you have to wait until after your freshman year and then try to transfer.</p>
<p>don't listen to anyone who says another school can't compare to wharton. wharton ****ing dominates, but you'll do fine (most likely the exact same) coming from any top business school.</p>
<p>I was just noting that every business school has a strength in a certain field. Such as, Wharton = Finance, MIT = MIS/OR, Harvard = General Management, etc etc. UChicago's another great school for finance but only grad school.</p>
<p>fair enough i suppose!</p>
<p>Wharton is #1 for business, across the board. Specifically, it is #1 for Finance, Insurance/Risk Management, Management, Marketing, Quantitive Analysis and Real State.</p>
<p>It is in the top 4 in the following: Accounting (ranks #3 behind Univ of Texas, and Univ. of Illinois); Entrepreneurship (#2 behind Babson College); International Business (ranks #3 behind Univ of SC - Moore and NYU Stern); Production / Operations Management (#4 behind MIT Sloan, Purdue Krannert, Carnegie Mellon); (#3 behind MIT Sloan, Carnegie Mellon).</p>
<p>It doesn't place as high in Supply Chain Management / Logistics (#9) or Management Information Systems (#6).</p>
<p>Are those undergraduate rankings, thinkjose1? Or do they include "graduate" busines schools, such as Harvard and Stanford?</p>
<p>I would agree with the #1 spot for Finance, but disagree with the top spot for Managment/Marketing/QA. But I would think Wharton's accounting program is the best.</p>
<p>Remember that there is no absolute authority in ranking programs.</p>
<p>I'm surprised that Wharton is # 2 in the Entrepreneurship rankings behind Babson College. Babson is not that great of a business school and their only strong point is entrepreneurship. Wharton should be ranked #1 for Entrepreneurship because it has other extremely strong departments within the business field where as Babson only has entrepreneurship and the other programs that it does have are quite weak.</p>
<p>...Hence the distinction between major-specific rankings and all-encompassing rankings....</p>
<p>Which Economist is this out of? The current one?</p>
<p>well placing kellogg above wharton overall immediately discounts the credibility of the economist, in my eyes. and where does princeton fall in the economics rankings? and if undergraduate business is so important, why is MIT the only elite school that has one (HYPSM)?</p>
<p>My rankings are from US News Undergraduate rankings. I should have mentioned.</p>
<p>FYI, Dunkaroo, Babson College (undergrad) does rank #29 across the board. I guess Entrepreneurship is their saving grace.</p>
<p>Graduate rankings:</p>
<p>Wharton is tied for #2 (with Stanford) behind Harvard</p>
<p>Wharton is #1 in accounting and Finance </p>
<p>Wharton is in top three in:
- Marketing, #2: (below Northwestern, above Univ. of Michigan)
- International, #3: (below Thunderbird, Univ. of South Carolina)
- Entrepreneurship, #3: (below Babson College*, Stanford)</p>
<ul>
<li>It seems that these guys are really good at entrepreneurship.</li>
</ul>
<p>Not in top three for:
- Supply Chain/Logistics (MIT Sloan, Michigan State, Ohio State);
- Production/Operations (MIT Sloan, Carnegie Mellon, Purdue)
- Nonprofit: (Yale, Harvard/Stanford)
- Management: (Harvard, Northwestern, Univ. of Michigan)
- Information Systems: (MIT Sloan, Carnegie Mellon, Univ. Of Texas)</p>
<p>By the way, Wharton may be tied for #3, or be close (#4 or #5) for the others, but I don't have this information since I don't feel like paying US News more money.</p>
<p>The only thing I find weird is that Harvard is #1 overall and the only specialities it ranks top three in is Nonprofit and Management.</p>
<p>yeah it is clear that Babson is not very good at the other business concentrations such as finance, accounting, management, marketing etc... It seems they are consistently #1 for entrepreneurship but for as good as they are in that particular field they don't have that much to show for it.</p>
