What college in the U.S. has the best business program?

Question

Im researching colleges to attend after high school. I want to attend the best college for a Masters degree in Business. Any Ideas??

Answer 1

You cannot get an MBA right after HS -- it is a graduate degree. For the better B-Schools you need an undergraduate degree (BA or BS) and three to five years of work experience before they will consider you.

The best undergraduate B-Schools are:

1. The Wharton School (University of Pennsylvania)
2. The Sloan School (MIT)
3. The Haas School (UC-Berkeley)
4. The Ross School (University of Michigan)
5. The McIntire School (University of Virginia).

Lots of other schools have good undergraduate B-Schools -- including UNC, Villanova, Maryland, NYU, Texas, USC, Cornell, Wisconsin, Minnesota, etc.

Many of the schools with better MBA programs do not have undergraduate B-Schools. For example, Harvard, Duke, Stanford and Columbia only have graduate level B-Schools. In fact -- Lydia's list is for MBA programs -- and six of those schools do not have an undergraduate B-School.
