<p>I want to major in business (broad, i know but im not sure exactly what in business yet) and i was wonder which school provides better business program and is more prestigious: Indiana University's Kelley School of Business or Syracuse University's Whitman School of Management?</p>
<p>IMO Kelley has a better reputation, but SU's Whitman has terrific alumni connections and job placement.....also, isn't Kelley much cheaper?</p>
<p>Go wherever fits you best.</p>
<p>Indiana's Kelley school is much the better program for business administration (ranked #11, while Syracuse's is about #40).</p>
<p>Syracuse has the slightly better public administration program (ranked #1 in the country, while Indiana and Harvard are tied for #2).</p>
<p>I don't know where the person above (rodney) is getting their placement information. Kelley's undergraduate job placement rates (92%) far exceed Syracuse's (around 75%).</p>
<p>Here's where Business Week ranked them:
Undergrad</a> B-School Rankings: Interactive Table</p>
<p>Notice that Indiana's job placement was ranked "A+", while Syracuse was ranked "C". I think rodney may have been confusing Syracuse's MBA program with their undergraduate program. The MBA program at Syracuse has about a 95% placement rate.</p>
<p>^^yes, Calcruzer...I totally agree that Kelley job placement is great...as I mentioned, it does have a better rep.....I just wanted to point out to the OP that Syracuse is probably overlooked, yet has a great alumni network. Sorry for insulting you.</p>

<p>Thanks for your comment, but you are not insulting me--I hadn't even posted previously--nor do I care about what is posted about Indiana vs Syracuse--I just wanted to get the right statistics for the OP--speaking of which--I messed up--since Syracuse's ranking was a "B" last year in placement--it was a "C" in 2006 (I looked at the wrong BW chart). This would mean that it's placement rate has gone up from 75% (in 2005) to over 80%, but less than 85% (in 2007)--but still less than at IU-B (92%).</p>
