McIntire School No. 2 in nation

UVA offers next-best undergrad business program

BY MEG MCEVOY

Business undergrads are walking with some extra swagger this week thanks to news from BusinessWeek that the McIntire School of Commerce is ranked No. 2 nationally.

BusinessWeek magazine ranked UVA’s McIntire School of Commerce second among the nation’s undergraduate business programs. Not bad, given that the top-ranked program at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business costs about four times as much, according to the magazine. The rankings were based on academic quality, student engagement and career placement. McIntire’s two-year program beat out undergrad business programs at University of California-Berkeley, the University of Michigan, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Cornell, to name a few. The average McIntire grad makes $52,500 out of college.
