This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2008, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.

BYU's undergraduate business school was ranked seventh in the nation by Business Week. BYU was the only Utah school to make the Top 100 list of best undergraduate business schools.

This is the third consecutive year the school has made the Top 10. The No. 1 school was University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business, followed by University of Virginia and Notre Dame.

The school's weak point was the number of internships, which was lower than the other schools'. BYU does not require its business students to complete internships.

The colleges were judged based on surveys completed by students, corporate recruiters, median starting salaries of graduates, number of graduates admitted to 35 top MBA programs, ACT and SAT scores of students, faculty to student ratios, average class size, percentage of students with internships, and the number of hours students spend preparing for classes.
