Undergraduate Program Ranked No. 6 for International Business

The Undergraduate Program at Georgetown’s McDonough School of Business advanced to No. 6 for international business in the 2017 U.S. News Best Undergraduate Business Programs ranking, up from No. 9 last year. The overall program also was listed as No. 15 for the second year in a row.

“Our program combines a global business education focused on principled leadership and Georgetown’s Jesuit heritage, preparing our students to become the standout leaders of their generation,” said Patricia Grant, interim senior associate dean for undergraduate programs. “We are excited to see the quality and reputation of our program overall, and within the area of international business, recognized by this ranking.”

U.S. News calculates their overall undergraduate business school rankings by surveying deans and senior faculty at all undergraduate programs accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Participants rate the quality of their peer programs on a scale of 1 to 5. U.S. News used the past two years’ responses to arrive at the overall undergraduate business school rankings.

Respondents also were asked to nominate their list of the 10 best programs in various specialty areas. The rankings of the best undergraduate business programs in a specialty area are based exclusively on this year’s peer assessment survey.
