'BusinessWeek' ranks Marquette's business school in top 50 Mu's College of Business Administration lauded two years in a row Released: March 9, 2007 For the second time in as many years, Marquette University’s College of Business Administration placed among the top 50 in BusinessWeek’s “Best Undergrad B-Schools” issue. The magazine introduced the undergraduate rankings in 2006. “The continued national recognition for our business program is a tribute to the efforts of our faculty, staff and students,” said Dr. David L. Shrock, dean of the college. “Marquette strives to help students excel as individuals with a strong ethical foundation and to develop the skills necessary to be business leaders who will make a difference in our global economy.” The magazine cited the college’s “focus on ethical and moral reasoning,” as well as its widely popular alumni mentoring program. To identify the best business programs, BusinessWeek used five measures, including a survey of nearly 80,000 business majors at top schools and a poll of undergraduate recruiters. The ranking is based on the “index number,” which represents the sum of all five ranking measures. BusinessWeek also calculated letter grades on teaching quality, facilities and services, and job placement based on the student survey. The complete list is available in the March 19 issue of BusinessWeek, which hit newsstands today. Expanded content, including the full methodology, interactive tables, in-depth profiles, and a discussion forum are available on BusinessWeek.com.
