Best Undergraduate Business Schools 2011

Looking for the top school in your state? The school with the highest-paid grads? The schools with the best teachers? Create your own personalized ranking by clicking on any of the column headers to reorder the table below according to your own criteria.

Note: The ranking is based on three student surveys (2011, 2010, 2009); three recruiter surveys (2011, 2010, 2009); median starting salaries for 2010 graduates; an MBA Feeder School measure based on the number of graduates enrolled in top MBA programs; and an Academic Quality measure based on SAT/ACT scores for business majors, the business program's full-time student/faculty ratio, average class size in core business classes, the percentage of business majors with internships, and the number of hours students spend on classwork each week. Annual program costs include tuition and required fees for in-state students. Student Survey Rank and Recruiter Survey Rank are each based on the three surveys noted above. Letter grades are based only on the 2011 survey and represent merely part of the survey results; highly ranked programs may have low letter grades, while lower-ranked programs may have high letter grades. In each category, the top 20 percent among all 113 ranked programs earned A+s. The succeeding 25 percent got As, the subsequent 35% got Bs, and the bottom 20 percent got Cs. No Ds or Fs were awarded. NA=Not Available. NR=Not Ranked. Data: Bloomberg Businessweek, Cambria Consulting
