Best Business Programs by Specialty

(page 3 of 3)

Along with sustainability, students in the Class of 2010 are more concerned about ethics than grads in years past, undoubtedly due to the recent financial crisis. Most of the programs thriving in this category have a religious affiliation, including Loyola University-Chicago ( Loyola-Chicago Undergraduate Business Profile), Xavier University's Williams College of Business (Williams Undergraduate Business Profile), and Brigham Young University's Marriott School of Mangement (Marriott Undergraduate Business Profile).

At Baylor University's Hankamer School of Business ( Hankamer Undergraduate Business Profile), a heavy premium is placed on the teaching of ethics, and the focus has earned the school a No. 5 ranking in that specialty area. Business students at the Christian-affiliated university are quick to mention the fact that ethics is intertwined throughout the program, from such courses as Ethics in Sports and Professional Selling and Ethics to case competitions and forums focused specifically on the discipline. "There is an emphasis on ethics in every class; it's interwoven in everything we learn," one Baylor senior explains in the Bloomberg Businessweek survey. "We are expected to make ethical decisions over profit-based ones."
