Top 5 Undergraduate Business Schools: Teaching Our Business Leaders of Tomorrow

Innovative Business Programs

Kimberly  Cummings
There are many schools that offer reasonably priced undergraduate degrees in business. Undergraduate degrees are commonly a prerequisite for higher graduate course study. Earning an undergraduate degree is often used as a stepping stone for better employment and higher pay. Many corporations and businesses will not even interview you for positions unless you have an undergraduate degree.

In my opinion the US has several great undergraduate business schools and not only do these schools offer outstanding undergraduate business programs but they are my favorites:

1. Notre Dame Mendoza College of Business offers several great undergraduate business programs. Notre Dame is located at 204 Mendoza College of Business in Notre Dame, Indiana. Notre Dame Mendoza Business College offers a wide array of different personalized programs. Students learn at Notre Dame how they can improve on their leadership skills and apply their studies to the real business world. In my opinion Notre Dame has a long standing history of excellence and promotes a focused undergraduate business program steeped in traditional business theory and practices.

2. Washington University's Olin Business School is located on Olympian Way in St. Louis, Missouri and is another great undergraduate business school. Washington University is only about four hours from where I live and I have known several people who graduated from there with undergraduate degrees. Washington University's Olin Business program is well respected in this area and students graduating from there seem to have little trouble finding promising employment with local companies. Olin Business School at Washington University offers 12 different business degrees and several non-degree certifications. Olin's spurs their students to use their critical thinking, communication and analytical skills in today's real world business and become tomorrow's movers and shakers.

3. Georgetown's McDonough School of Business in Washington, D.C. is another well respected business school that offers several undergraduate programs. McDonough's is located on the main campus of Georgetown University at 37th and O Streets and has a unique education system set in very traditional ways. Georgetown supports their students and expects a very distinguished commitment from each and every student in return. The school emphasizes small class structure and tries to maintain a close knit one on one experience with their students through their dedicated teaching professionals. I chose Georgetown because of its strive for excellence and for being one of the major outstanding colleges within our United States.
