DENVER –In the Bloomberg BusinessWeek’s annual ranking of the Best Undergraduate Business Programs by Specialty, the University of Denver’s Daniels College of Business placed among the nation’s top business programs.
Daniels was ranked the second-best in the U.S. in ethics; No. 15 in accounting; No. 23 in international business; No. 43 in sustainability; and No. 47 in financial management. Bloomberg Businessweek surveyed more than 85,000 students at more than 100 top B-schools and asked them to rate their program’s performance in 14 academic disciplines ranging from ethics to sustainability. Scores were then calculated for each of the ranked schools in each specialty.
“What is most significant about this ranking is that it reflects student satisfaction regarding their Daniels experience,” said Daniels Dean Christine Riordan. “Our students’ high regard for the Daniels ethics, accounting, international business, sustainability and financial management programs demonstrate their critical importance to future business leaders. These rankings also reflect our strategic work and focus on ethics, sustainability, and globalization”
