Sometimes I wonder whether the real intent is to get people to praise a school instead of needing a actual answer. NYU’s business program is one of the best in the world. The undergrad business program is rated by NYNews as #5, Bloomberg #14, Forbes #23. P & Q # 11. NYU might have stronger students, better faculty, and such. But maybe that does not impact on bottom line.

P & Q claims that the starting pay for Binghamton grads is only a few thousand less than that of NYU though. “And the pay is not only good at the top-drawer business schools. Last year’s business graduates at Binghamton University, for example, gained starting salaries of $60,000–just ten grand less than Wharton grads.” I don’t know how valid the data is about salaries, where it comes from and whether the same holds true a few years later. Starting salaries may all be pretty comparable since businesses need to compete for the best employees. Maybe things stay the same a decade later.
