Best Ivy League Schools for Business?

I'm interested in applying to Ivy League schools and I want to major in business. Which Ivy League colleges have the best business programs or schools?

4 months ago

Sure I can help with that. At the Ivy League, a formal undergraduate business major often doesn't exist, as many Ivy League schools do not offer it. However, they do generally offer related programs like Economics or have business-focused schools that provide credible alternatives.

Here's a quick rundown:

- University of Pennsylvania (UPenn): Wharton School of Business is generally recognized as one of the top undergraduate business programs in the country and is very comprehensive. It offers numerous specializations for students to consider, including Entrepreneurship, Marketing, Finance, and more.

- Cornell University: The Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management is Cornell's business school. This program is notable for its interdisciplinary approach to learning, blending business management with a liberal arts education. Additionally, the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business offers the Hotel School which has management and business components.

- Dartmouth College: Although Dartmouth does not offer a specific business major, they do offer an Economics major and a minor in Markets, Management, and Economy. After the first two years, students can take specialized classes in finance, accounting, marketing, and management at the Tuck Business School.

- Columbia University and Brown University: Both Columbia and Brown offer programs in Business Management and Economics.

- Princeton, Yale, and Harvard: These schools do not offer a traditional business major, but they do offer Economics major or minors and have globally recognized M.B.A programs for graduate studies. Also, they have various business-focused extracurriculars that provide a practical avenue for developing business skills and knowledge.

Remember, it's also about finding the right fit for your learning style, career goals, and overall college experience. Thus, it's important to look beyond just the name and prestige of the school and really delve into what each program has to offer you.
