Penn's Wharton School of Business consistently ranks in the Top Five on both the U.S. News and World Report and Bloomberg lists. Penn holds the top spot on the U.S. News overall list of Best Undergraduate Business Programs and ranks in the Top Ten in each of the business degree specialties for which U.S. News provides rankings. Bloomberg has rated Penn the Top Undergraduate Business Program in 2007 and 2008, with the program earning the third and fourth slots, respectively, on Bloomberg's 2009 and 2010 lists.
While U.S. News and World Report ranks the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as the second-best undergraduate business school (tied with the University of California-Berkeley), Bloomberg lists MIT in its third spot. MIT historically ranks in the Top Ten with Bloomberg, although third is the highest spot MIT has achieved since 2007.
Tied for second with MIT on U.S. News and World Report's list, UC-Berkeley also earns Top Ten honors in several undergraduate business specialties (entrepreneurship, management and marketing, for example). Bloomberg ranks UC-Berkeley's business program as sixth in the nation, although it has ranked as high as third.
Bloomberg consistently ranks the University of Michigan's business program in its Top Ten, with the school ranking as high as fourth in 2009. U.S. News and World Report also gives Michigan high marks, awarding it the fourth spot on the publication's 2010 ranking list.
One school for which the Bloomberg and the U.S. News and World Report rankings disagree is Notre Dame. Bloomberg has consistently featured Notre Dame in its Top Three, with the school earning top honors on the 2010 list. U.S. News and World Report, however, does not rank Notre Dame in its Top Ten, and the school only earns honors from U.S. News in the Accounting category, listed at eighth.
