<p>^ Here is the link from Businessweek with the compiled data… It is a list of the top 50 Undergraduate Business schools and link to the detailed description of their methodology for ranking (student surveys, corporate recruiting surveys, surveys from the top 35 MBA programs, peer surveys, etc.). </p>

<p>On the other hand, the U.S. News & World Report Rankings (for Best Undergraduate Business School) state upfront that they are based solely on a peer assessment survey. </p>

<p>Admittedly, I’m not a business major and know precious little about business schools but it seems to me that from a purely statistical perspective the applied survey methods Businessweek employed to determine “Best Undergraduate Business School” were more thorough than those employed by U.S. News & World Report. </p>
<p>Now I’m curious about Haas b/c I was pretty sure they had an undergrad program, I’ll have to check into it. I do agree wholeheartedly with your opinion about the importance of networking!</p>
