US News & World Report ranks the Whitman undergraduate business program as 39th in the nation. In 2008, the Whitman School was ranked 52 nationwide for undergraduate business programs by BusinessWeek. The Whitman School is home to nationally ranked programs in entrepreneurship and supply chain management.
To rank these programs, BusinessWeek used nine measures, including surveys of 85,000 senior business majors and nearly 600 corporate recruiters, median starting salaries for graduates, and the number of graduates each program sends to top MBA programs. BusinessWeek also calculated an academic quality rating for each program by combining SAT scores, student-faculty ratios, class size, the percentage of students with internships and the number of hours students devote to class work.
