“We believe the quality of business education comes down to three core issues…quality of the raw talent coming through the door, what a school does with that talent, marketplace response to grads”

    OAKLAND, CA, January 27, 2022 Senmer News WirePoets&Quants for Undergrads, the leading online publication for undergraduate business education news, has unveiled its sixth annual Best Undergraduate Business Schools 2022 rankings.

Considered the most comprehensive assessment of undergraduate business programs, the data revealed the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania as the #1 business school in the country for the fifth year in a row.

This year’s ranking will include 95 schools, up from 93 last year. For the first time since the launch of this ranking, the methodology has been adjusted. Changes include reducing the weight given to average SAT scores from 35% to 10%. Additionally, the weight given to acceptance rates was lowered from 35% to 30%. The average high school GPA of the most recently enrolled class (15%) was added along with the average percentage of students that reported being National Merit finalists or semi-finalists (15%).

Three schools broke into the top ten this year that were not there last year. These include the University of Southern California Marshall School of Business, Villanova University’s School of Business, and Washington University in St. Louis’s Olin Business School.

“We believe the quality of business education comes down to three core issues,” said Nathan Allen, Project Manager, Poets&Quants for Undergrads. “The quality of the raw talent coming through the door, what a school does with that talent over four years, and finally how the marketplace responds to the graduates coming off campus.”

Rounding out the top 10 undergraduate business school programs are:
1. University of Pennsylvania (Wharton)
2. Georgetown University (McDonough)
3. University of Southern California (Marshall)
4. Washington University in St. Louis (Olin)
5. University of Virginia (McIntire)
6. University of Michigan (Ross)
7. New York University (Stern)
8. University of Notre Dame (Mendoza)
9. Villanova University
10. Georgia Institute of Technology (Scheller)

Recent grads across the 95 schools were surveyed on aspects of faculty availability, extracurricular opportunities, and accessibility of the alumni network.
