BusineesWeek Ranks Marquette Among Top 50 Business Schools Released: April 28, 2006 MILWAUKEE- BusinessWeek magazine ranked Marquette University 's College of Business Administration 46 th in its list of the top undergraduate business schools in the nation. The ranking is based on student engagement, outcomes following graduation, and academic quality. "This certainly is a well-earned recognition of the hard work everyone in the college applies to building the quality of our programs and service to our students,” says Dr. David L. Shrock, dean of the college. To rank the best undergraduate business programs in the United States, BusinessWeek and Cambria Consulting of Boston identified 84 colleges that met stringent criteria and surveyed almost 100,000 business majors who were asked to rate their programs from curriculum and faculty to facilities and grading policies. To find out how students fared after graduation, the team surveyed 2,000 recruiters, studied starting salaries, and conducted a third survey of the business programs themselves. BusinessWeek also analyzed which schools send the most students to top MBA programs. One Marquette student told BusinessWeek, “The business program did an exceptional job of teaching theory, application, and ethics from a managerial perspective. I appreciate the broader focus, where each major is important, but a connection to other disciplines was also made to see the ‘whole picture." BusinessWeek's Top 50 Undergraduate Business Schools is available in the May 8 issue that will be on newsstands Monday. The complete list of the top undergraduate business schools, as well as school profiles, frequently asked questions, and other information, is also online.
