I'm really interested in pursuing a business degree, but I'd like to stay close to home in St. Louis. Does anyone have recommendations for the best business school in that area?
St. Louis has a few excellent schools where you can pursue a business degree.
1. Washington University in St. Louis (WashU): Often the first school that comes to mind due to its prestige and location, the Olin Business School at WashU offers highly ranked undergraduate business programs. With programs like entrepreneurship and strategic management, you'll get a well-rounded education and opportunities for internships in local businesses.
2. Saint Louis University (SLU): SLU's Chaifetz School of Business is another excellent choice and offers a variety of business degrees, from economics to entrepreneurship. The school emphasizes experiential learning and community engagement, which can be a great way to get real-world business experience right in St. Louis.
3. University of Missouri-St. Louis (UMSL): As a public option, the College of Business Administration at UMSL offers degrees in areas such as accounting, finance, and international business. The school also offers connections to business internships and other opportunities in the St. Louis area.
All three schools have strong ties to the local business community. I recommend visiting each of the campuses and meeting with the business school advisors if you can, to get a better feel for which school might be the best fit for you.
