Is University of Pennsylvania the best school in the nation for finance and finance related majors ?

Answer 1

At what level?

On the undergraduate level University of Pennsylvania is clearly the best university for finance.

On the MBA level, it is near the top -- and is probably at the top. I would say that University of Chicago, MIT, Stanford and a few other schools are close.

For a PhD, I would rank schools as follows:

1. University of Chicago and MIT
3. Stanford University
4. University of Pennsylvania
5 UC-Berkeley and UCLA

Other schools that might claim to be in the top ten in finance include: Duke University, Carnegie Mellon, NYU, University of Rochester, University of Michigan, Columbia University and Cornell.

Someone up above claimed that Harvard is the best school for finance. Note that I do not include them in my top ten. In fact, I would palso put Maryland, Texas, Northwestern and North Carolina above Harvard for finance.

Harvard does not offer an undergraduate degree in business or finance. They have an excellent Master's and Doctoral program -- but are better known for management and strategy than for finance.

They do have some outstanding Finance professors -- particularly their recent hires. However, it is a very odd school for finance that is unlike any others. It is one of the better places to go for corporate finance -- and not a very good place to go for capital markets finance. Their MBA classes are all taught using case studies -- so Harvard MBAs usually lack the theoretical basis needed to really understand finance.
