BW Undergrad Business School Rankings

BusinessWeek published yesterday its promised and first-ever undergrad b-school rankings. The top ten are:

  1. Penn (Wharton)
  2.  Virginia (McIntire)
  3. Notre Dame (Mendoza)
  4. MIT (Sloan)
  5. Emory (Goizueta)
  6. Michigan (Ross)
  7. NYU (Stern)
  8. Brigham Young (Marriott)
  9. Texas (McCombs)
  10. Indiana (Kelley)

Before using these rankings as anything more than a curiosity, please take the time to familiarize yourself with BW's method. They base their rankings on student feedback, a recruiter survey, "educational quality," first-year salaries, and a "feeder-school" measure.

 Undergrads have long complained that they don't received the attention that MBAs do because they aren't ranked. It will be interesting if schools upgrade their undergrad programs in response to the surveys, feedback, and BW's new rankings.
