The undergraduate business program in the
Whitman School of Management at Syracuse
University has been ranked as one of the top 50 best undergraduate business programs
nationwide in BusinessWeek's "The Best Undergrad Business Schools 2009." The Whitman
School was ranked 49. The issue hit newsstands March 2.
US News & World Report ranks the Whitman undergraduate business program as 39th in
the nation. In 2008, the Whitman School was ranked 52 nationwide for undergraduate
business programs by BusinessWeek. The Whitman School is home to nationally ranked
programs in entrepreneurship and supply chain management.
To rank these programs, BusinessWeek used nine measures, including surveys of 85,000
senior business majors and nearly 600 corporate recruiters, median starting salaries for
graduates, and the number of graduates each program sends to top MBA programs.
BusinessWeek also calculated an academic quality rating for each program by combining
SAT scores, student-faculty ratios, class size, the percentage of students with internships and
the number of hours students devote to class work.
