The undergraduate business program at Marquette University remains one of the top programs in the country, according to Bloomberg BusinessWeek. The College of Business Administration’s overall rank improved slightly from 69 to 68, and the academic quality rank also improved from 40 to 31.

For the third straight year, the College of Business Administration received an A in the teaching quality category. “This grade pays proper recognition to the excellent faculty who develop applied learning experiences that prepare our students to think critically and ethically and add value to their future organizations,” says Dr. Linda Salchenberger, Keyes Dean of Business Administration.

BusinessWeek focuses on five categories to determine its overall rankings, including surveys of senior business majors and corporate recruiters, median starting salaries for graduates, and the number of graduates each program sends to top MBA programs, as well as an academic quality rating as calculated by the raters.
