OT Best Undergrad Business Schools

[RU2007RSLN2010]

Bloomberg has an article on the top undergrad business schools in the country based on a formula taking in to account an employer survey, student survey, salary and internships. The results list the top 114 programs. To my surprise Rutgers-New Brunswick is not included in the list. Rutgers-Newark is 97th. I assume these are two separate programs, correct?

For the other instate schools TCNJ is 35th, Seton Hall is 65th and Rowan is 112th. You think they combined Rutgers Newark and New Brunswick for conducting these rankings? I'm not too familiar with the undergrad business school in Piscataway but I remember it being incredibly competitive to get in to during my time at Rutgers. I would think that we would finish much higher in the rankings.

Rutgers ranked No. 3 in the U.S. for MBA employment

Any list that has Villanova #1 and UPenn #16 is idiotic and should not be considered seriously

Villanova has a nice business school, but it doesn't hold a candle to Upenn, ND, UVA or Boston College.

I think the business school is combined newark and new brunswick. I have no idea whether they took that into account here. According to US news its a top 50 program.

This is like one of those "Best place to Live" rankings. It's all BS and very subjective.

The rankings are for undergraduate business schools, not MBA programs, although one would think any school would have somewhat similar rankings for each (but maybe not).

Bloomberg announced that this is the last year of their under business school grad rankings.

I know the graduate program is combined Newark/NB you can take classes on either campus. I believe undergrad is separate.

John Carol ........ 1 ......... #95
Villanova ........... 2 ......... #29
Penn ........... 66 .......... #1
Cornell ......... 67 ........... #2
