Bloomberg Businessweek’s undergraduate business school rankings report released last Wednesday placed the McIntire School of Commerce second among the country’s best undergraduate business programs, marking the school’s eighth consecutive year with a top-two ranking. The Notre Dame Mendoza College of Business secured the top spot.
The report, released annually by Bloomberg since 2006, compiles the rankings based on a number of criteria, including surveys of senior business majors and employers, academic statistics, graduate enrollment numbers in top-ranked programs and median starting salary.
“While we appreciate this external validation, our focus is always on providing the absolutely best experience that we can for our students, both in and out of the classroom,” McIntire spokesperson Jim Travisano said.
According to the Bloomberg report, 97 percent of students from the McIntire class of 2012 had a job within three months of graduation. Ninety percent of the class of 2013 has also already had at least one business internship, the report said.
“I’ve had the opportunity to sit in on classes, and I’m constantly impressed with the creativity, thoughtful engagement and work ethic both students and faculty bring to the classroom,” Travisano said. “Rather than offering traditional, independent core courses, the faculty engages students in a coherent, integrated curriculum focusing on real world business issues. By the time they graduate, our students are ready to hit the ground running.”
