by U.S. News    

The latest U.S. News & World Report ranking of undergraduate business programs places UW-Madison 13th among all business schools in the U.S., down one spot from 12th place last year.

In addition, two programs within the School of Business made the magazine’s top five list. The Real Estate program was ranked second, up two spots from last year. The Insurance program was rated third in the nation, the same as last year.

In all, seven School of Business programs were ranked in the top 20. In addition to Real Estate and Insurance, the Marketing program was ranked 8th, the Finance program 15th, the Management program 17th, and the Accounting program and Supply Chain Management/Logistics program were both ranked 18th. 

“It is gratifying to continue to be ranked among the top programs in the U.S,” School of Business Dean Michael M. Knetter said. “A recent review of our undergraduate program identified ways to make it even stronger. We are undertaking structural improvements to our curriculum, moving toward earlier admission to provide better internship opportunities for our students, and adding a significant leadership component. Other improvements, such as enhancing the international exposure of our graduates, are in the planning stages.”
