Bloomberg Businessweek’s “Best Undergrad Business Schools” rankings are compiled by surveying nearly 30,000 students and recruiters at almost 600 companies. There are four main metrics — employer surveys, student surveys, starting salaries and internships.
UA’s business school moved up 18 spots on the list from last year. The CBA’s best score came in the employer satisfaction metric, where it ranked in the top 30 of all public institutions.
UA’s College of Business Administration enrolls approximately 2,500 undergraduate and graduate students. It includes MBA and part-time MBA programs recognized among the nation’s best by U.S. News & World Report, CEO Magazine, and The Princeton Review. The CBA is accredited in business and has an additional, specialized accreditation in accounting by AACSB International. Less than two percent of business schools in the world have attained AACSB accreditation.
