Undergraduate Business Program Ranked 12th in Nation by U.S. News

The latest U.S. News & World Report ranking of undergraduate business programs places the University of Wisconsin-Madison 12th overall among business schools in the U.S., up one spot from 13th place last year and 7th among public doctoral-granting institutions.

In addition, two programs within the School of Business retained their rankings in the magazine’s top-five list. The Real Estate program was ranked second and the Insurance/Risk Management program was rated third in the nation.

In the same issue, the Marketing program ranked ninth, the Finance program ranked 13th, the Accounting program ranked 17th, the Management program ranked 20th and International Business ranked 24th.

UW-Madison as a whole was ranked 38th in the U.S. and eighth among public universities. The rankings are based solely on the judgments of deans and senior faculty who responded to an invitation to nominate peer institutions.

Wisconsin's undergraduate program has been ranked among top programs in the U.S. by U.S. News & World Report ever since the magazine began ranking undergraduate business programs in 1996.
