Rankings

The College of Business Administration has been included in The Princeton Review's list of Best Business Schools every year since 2005. Schools are selected for this recognition on the basis of their high quality academic programs and the favorable opinions of their students who rate and report on their campus experiences.

In February 2009, the College was ranked by BusinessWeek magazine as one of the best undergraduate business schools in the United States. BusinessWeek bases the ranking on nine measures, including surveys of 85,000 senior business majors and nearly 600 corporate recruiters, median starting salaries for graduates, and the number of graduates each program sends to top MBA programs. BusinessWeek also calculates an academic quality rating for each program by combining SAT scores, student-faculty ratios, class size, the percentage of students with internships, and the number of hours students devote to class work.
