Google is your friend.
I’ve done that already but different sites all have different rankings and they can be biased
^ Exactly. So why would this site be any different?
Chicago, Northwestern and Columbia do not have undergraduate business programs. You would know that if you had done any research on those college websites.
@sweetmint
You have to buy a subscription to US news for the whole BBA list. But
UVA, UMich, UCB, CMU, UPenn , UNC, and NYU are top 10. Emory and USC are top 15. I don’t know about the others.
All of the schools on your list are great schools with major Wall Street pull except probably USC, Wash U, OSU, and Purdue.
Wall Street Oasis might give you better info.
Is there a specific industry or region of the country you are targeting after graduation? Do you want to work for P&G or Ford in the Midwest? Goldman Sachs or JP Morgan on Wall Street? Google or Apple on the West Coast?
As others have pointed out, Chicago, Columbia and Northwestern may have elite MBA programs, but they do not offer undergraduate degrees. The rest of the universities on your list are all excellent to varying degrees depending on your short-term career goals (first 3-5 years after college).
Remember, at most elite MBA schools the majority of students do not have undergrad degree’s in business.
How good would you say CMU or Purdue’s undergraduate business is? Also I know you mentioned Columbia, UChicago, and Northwestern don’t have an undergraduate business program but then how are those measured in terms of undergrad business? Thank you!
Does Ohio State have a better undergrad business program than Purdue?
@sweetmint Columbia, UChicago and Northwestern “business majors” will typically major in economics, among others; you can look at their rankings in economics if you so desire. All three will be at the very top of the food chain.
I think Alexandre is making a very important point about where you want to work.
For example, many wall street employees have undergrad degrees in other majors. A finance major from Penn, Cornell, Berkeley, or Michigan is still going to have to compete for those jobs with economics, engineering and liberal arts grads from schools like Harvard, Columbia, Stanford, Penn, Yale, MIT, NYU, Princeton, Chicago, Cornell, Northwestern and Duke.In contrast, if you are interested in accounting or marketing in the midwest, that works much differently.
Without knowing what your goals are, it is difficult to say which schools and majors may be better to try to achieve those goals.
Acc to USNWR, MIT and Berkeley are tied for 2nd place in undergrad rankings, Wharton is first.
preppedparent, you are referencing last year’s ranking, This year’s ranking has Sloan at #2 and Haas and Ross tied at #3.
