Villanova school of business was ranked 7th and 13th by Business week in the past two years respectively, and BC’s Carroll School of Management has been rated lower, but still top 20 I believe. The difference is that BC (in my experience) has overall a better reputation than does Nova, so you need to decide whether you’re choosing the whole school or just the business school.



BC has actually ranked better than Villanova over the last three years on the BW rankings:

CSOM: #9 (2012), #16 (2011), #9 (2010)
VSB: #13 (2012), #7 (2011), #20 (2010)

However, as Ortsac mentioned, BW rankings vacillate way too much.

For comparison sake, Villanova (#72) is ranked 48 spots lower than BC (#24) on the US News undergraduate business program rankings: [US News Undergrad - Business School Rankings - Library Guides at Wake Forest Univ. - Prof. Center Library](http://libguides.mba.wfu.edu/content.php?pid=207808&sid=2103121)

Overall, BC is a much stronger choice than Nova for business.
