Business Week magazine has ranked the Kogod School of Business as one of the top 30 best undergraduate business schools, according to an AU press release.
The magazine ranked 51 schools, with Kogod in 28th place.
The rankings are based on surveys conducted of business majors and business recruiters. The magazine also examined the average starting salaries for the school's graduates, the number of people who graduate from the program and follow up with MBA programs and the academic quality of the school. Class size, student-faculty ratio and the number of students with internships were evaluated to determine the academic quality as well.
Lawrence P. Ward, associate dean for academic programs in Kogod, said he was very proud of the Business Week ranking.
"I am particularly proud of our 'top 10' student survey ranking, which amplifies all that our outstanding faculty and staff do on a daily basis to create and sustain a challenging, highly engaged, innovative and rewarding academic experience for our students," he said in the press release.
This is the first time Kogod has made the ranking. Other schools ranked for the first time this year include Ohio University and Chapman University's Agryos School of Business and Economics.
