Bloomberg Businessweek released its annual ranking of the Best Undergraduate Business Programs by Specialty last week.
Graduating undergraduate business students from 139 participating schools assigned letter grades (A-F) to 12 specialty areas in their school’s business program. Scores were then calculated for each category to help BBW generate their specialty-specific top-ten lists.
Findings show that top-ranked programs were more likely to appear on more specialty-specific top-ten lists. Notre Dame took the cake, appearing on eight out of twelve top-ten lists.
For the sake of space, we’ll list the top three programs in each of the twelve categories. For full rankings coverage visit BBW’s “Best Business Programs by Specialty.”
