Does a good Grad program mean a good Undergrad program?

Like if a school has a really good business graduate program, or whatever, does that mean that the undergraduate program of the same major will be good too?

Not necessarily. When you go to a place with a graduate school, your undergraduate tuition more or less subsidizes the graduate education. If you want the best undergraduate experience, I recommend a small liberal arts college. There all of your tuition is going to your education, not someone else's.

For each school of interest, check for the number undergrad courses taught by TAs. Check if top profs teach undergrad courses.

As others have said, not necessarily.

Sometimes entirely different faculty teach undergraduate and graduate students (e.g. art history at NYU).

OP, in many cases, yes, it does.

As others have noted, in general, yes, but business is a poor example since most top biz schools do not offer an undergrad biz major.

There is usually a very strong correlation (not 1, but still strong) between undergrad business and graduate business.
