U.S. News surveyed deans and senior faculty at each undergraduate business program accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Business school deans and faculty (two at each business program) were surveyed in spring 2008. Participants were asked to rate the quality of all programs they are familiar with on a scale of 1 (marginal) to 5 (distinguished). The undergraduate business school rankings are based solely on this peer survey; 38 percent of those surveyed responded. We also asked for nominations of the best programs in specialty areas; those receiving the most mentions in each area appear here. Schools offering any courses in a specialty are eligible to be ranked in that specialty.

In head-to-head Supply Chain Management and Business Strategy competitions, Michigan has been beaten quite often by Michigan State and Tennessee to name a few. It does not appear that student's ability to apply the teachings are taken into this ranking system.

This is an undergraduate ranking. The schools you mentioned do not have undergraduate business programs--only MBA programs.

I think it is very strange that many famous and excellent schools, such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton University, Dartmouth and so on, are not on the ranking. But when I search the Internet, it is show that these schools have best business programs. I really want to know the reason.
