Mendoza College ranked No. 1 for ethics in Bloomberg Businessweek specialty rankings

The Mendoza College of
Business at the University of Notre Dame earned top 10 rankings in
10 of 14 business specialty categories in the 2011 Bloomberg Businessweek
annual ranking of the “Best Undergraduate Business Programs by Specialty,”
released May 9.

The results
included a first-place ranking in ethics, a No. 2 spot in sustainability, and
fifth-place rankings in both accounting and calculus.

Other
specialties earning top 10 spots included: macroeconomics, No. 6;
microeconomics, No. 7; business law, No. 8; financial management, No. 9; and
marketing and operations management, both ranked No. 10.

The specialty
rankings are calculated using survey data collected as part of Bloomberg
Businessweek’s annual ranking of the top undergraduate business programs.
Mendoza received the overall No. 1 ranking in the 2011 survey for the second
consecutive year.

Senior business
students from the participating schools were asked to assign grades to their
business programs in the 14 specialty areas: quantitative methods, operations
management, ethics, sustainability, calculus, microeconomics, macroeconomics,
accounting, financial management, marketing management, business law and
corporate strategy. Based on those grades, scores were calculated for each of
the ranked schools in each area.

College of Business currently enrolls 1,759 undergraduate students in four
departments: accountancy, finance, management and marketing. After completing
