<p>BW ranking is all ********. It is ranked by the college students instead of recruiters. Anyone can do a survey to brag how good their business school <– this will actually bring the ranking up lol.</p>
<p>i plan to be a CPA. I got accepted by both for BuzEcon in UCSB and econ in UCSD. UCSD has a accounting minor. Which should I choose could be better for building my career future? Thank you.</p>
<p>UCSB has offered econ major w/emphasis in acct. for a while, starting 2010 UCSB changed that into a major called “economics and accounting”; while 2010 is the first year that UCSD offers accounting minor. </p>
<p>Starting 2014, there would be additional 30 “accounting studies” quarter units for licensing on top of the current 36 acct + 36 business. I would compare the programs from both school to see which one offers a better curriculum to get as much as those units under the bell when graduate.</p>
<p>Ask and thou shall receive! I cannot provide you with the entire list, but I can provide you with the top 50.</p>

<p>thanks Alexandre! are there any business specialty rankings that you can post (finance, accounting, marketing, etc)?
and congrats on UT, etceterae</p>
<p>I’m pretty shocked that Stern is ranked at 15 and 12 in the past 2 years. The student faculty ratio ranking is not necessary at all; some schools are meant to be big and some are meant to be small.</p>
<p>rainyswish, business specialty are meaningless at the undergraduate level since undergrads are never afforded the luxury of specialization. BBA programs are highly structured and typically leave undergrads very little time to specialize.</p>
<p>Anyway, below are some specialty rankings, but like I said, they don’t mean much.</p>
<p>ACCOUNTING:
1 University of Texas-Austin (McCombs)
2 University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign
3 Brigham Young University-Provo (Marriott)
4 University of Pennsylvania (Wharton)
5 University of Southern California (Marshall)</p>
<p>FINANCE:
1 University of Pennsylvania (Wharton)
2 New York University (Stern)
3 University of California-Berkeley (Haas)
4 University of Michigan-Ann Arbor (Ross)
5 Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Sloan)</p>
<p>MANAGEMENT:
1 University of Michigan-Ann Arbor (Ross)
2 University of Pennsylvania (Wharton)
3 University of California-Berkeley (Haas)
4 University of North carolina-Chapel Hill (Kenan Flagler)
5 University of Texas-Austin (McCombs)</p>
<p>MARKETING
1 University of Pennsylvania (Wharton)
2 University of Michigan-Ann Arbor (Ross)
3 University of Texas-Austin (McCombs)
4 University of California-Berkeley (Haas)
5 University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (Kenan Flagler)</p>
<p>The new ranking is not good. At the undergraduate level, Wharton is clearly #1. There is no other way of intepreting it. Any ranking that does not start with Wharton is not reliable. But my issues with this ranking goes beyong Wharton’s ridiculous ranking. MIT (Sloan) at #9 or Cal (Haas) at #13 or NYU (Stern) at #15 or Carnegie Mellon (Tepper) at #21 are just as ridiculous. Quite possibly the most laughable part of the ranking was Wharton’s #21 Recruiter ranking.</p>
