To calculate these rankings, U.S. News surveyed deans and senior faculty members at each of the 532 undergraduate business programs accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) in the spring and early summer of 2024. These deans and faculty members – two at each AACSB-accredited business program – were asked to rate the quality of all programs with which they were familiar on a scale from 5 (outstanding) to 1 (marginal). The undergraduate business school rankings were based solely on the judgements of deans and senior faculty members at peer institutions.
For the specialty rankings, U.S. News asked deans and senior faculty to nominate up to 15 of the best programs among each specialty area. A school had to receive seven or more nominations in a specific specialty area to be included on the list. Rankings of the best undergraduate business programs in a specialty area are based solely on the peer assessment survey conducted in the spring and summer of 2024.
