The Business school?

Eller’s entrepreneurship program destorys UW Foster, but UW has a clear edge in finance, accounting, and maybe marketing.

Foster is a two year program, and mildly competitive if you don’t get in Freshman Direct.

Honors is stingy with its credits, as it won’t let you waive anything from its core. That said, I’m pretty sure not ALL of your precious APs are thrown in the trash.

As with most majors, intro classes are crowded with specialized tracks getting smaller. Finance is popular, and thus will have larger class sizes than the other tracks though.

Local placement is great, but Foster’s career center is a source of criticism relative to peer programs. Finance and accounting should land you jobs, but other tracks have to fend for themselves.

Entrepreneurship -> UofA
All else -> UW

I was admitted freshman direct but will be attending Tepper at CMU in 2014.
