I'm really interested in combining philanthropy with business in my undergrad studies. Do you guys know which colleges have strong programs that focus on business with a philanthropic angle? I'd love to hear recommendations and why they're great!

There are several institutions renowned for offering top-notch education in business-related programs that aim to integrate philanthropy as a focal point. Here are a few that may be of interest:

1. University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School: Wharton is a globally renowned institution for business education. You may be particularly interested in their Social Impact & Responsibility concentration. Wharton's education provides opportunities to learn about social entrepreneurship, impact investing, and strategic corporate social responsibility.

2. Yale University: Yale has a robust Ethics, Politics, and Economics major, that students often pair with the Entrepreneurship & Innovation track, hosted by their School of Management. This combination would equip you with a strong foundation in both business and an understanding of how they impact society.

3. University of Michigan's Ross School of Business: Ross has a Business and Sustainability concentration, which can help you understand how to build and manage businesses that are both profitable and able to make a positive impact in the society.

4. Stanford University's Graduate School of Business: While Stanford's focus on social enterprise often comes in the post-grad realm, undergraduate students are able to take classes at the GSB, exposing them to courses on social entrepreneurship, sustainability, and non-profit leadership.

5. University of Notre Dame, Mendoza College of Business: The Business on the Frontlines course, which investigates the impact business can have in rebuilding war-torn, impoverished areas, might be of particular interest to you.

These colleges not only offer prestigious business degrees, but also a firm grounding in ethical considerations and a remit to promote good in society. They incorporate a variety of methods, such as case studies, internships, and service learning opportunities to give students a real-world understanding of how business can be used as a tool for positive change.
