To identify the top undergraduate business programs, Bloomberg BusinessWeek uses a methodology that includes nine measures of student satisfaction, post-graduation outcomes, and academic quality. BusinessWeek bases its ranking on three years of student and recruiter surveys, an MBA feeder school measure, salaries, and academic quality. BusinessWeek surveyed 85,000 senior business majors and nearly 600 corporate recruiters.
