UW-Madison Undergraduate Business Program Rated 11th Among U.S. Schools

U.S. News & World Report has ranked the University of Wisconsin-Madison among the best undergraduate business programs in the nation. UW-Madison was ranked 11th among all undergraduate business programs in the Sept. 1,2003 issue of the magazine. This is the same ranking the undergraduate program was given by the magazine last year.

Two areas of specialization in the undergraduate program were ranked among the top five in the nation. Real estate was ranked second and insurance/risk management was ranked third.

The magazine ranked nine additional undergraduate business majors at UW-Madison among the top 20 programs in the nation. They are: marketing, 9th; quantitative analysis, 11th; management, 12th; international business, 12th; supply chain/logistics, 13th; finance, 14th; production/operations management, 17th; accounting, 19th ; and management information systems, 20th. (These rankings do not appear in the printed magazine but are available on the magazine’s premium online site).

School of Business Dean Michael M. Knetter said, "This high national ranking is consistent with views expressed by our graduates in exit surveys. They are on average very satisfied with their experience with this school and the placement outcomes it helps create."

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