Three Marquette University College of Business Administration undergraduate programs have been ranked in the top 20 nationally by U.S. News & World Report.

Only about 20 programs are ranked in each specialty category annually. This year U.S. News recognized Marquette’s programs in entrepreneurship ranked 16th; finance 18th; and supply chain management 16th among the nation’s top business specialty programs.

No idea how this happened. I can tell you first hand the entrepreneurship program is an absolute joke.

The finance is excellent however (especially AIM), and I'd guess the supply chain is pretty good from friends who took it.

wasn't undergrad biz school top 50 a few years ago? #81 seems low.

I think that is a typo and the #81 ranking is actually the US News and World Report full university ranking, not the business school.

Consider that there was no such thing as entrepreneurship before Dave Shrock, that's pretty good.  Why do you say it is a joke?

Could also be because sometimes places change the way they do rankings and what criteria they give weight to. That has caused position drops in the past, too.

Perhaps an entrepreneurship major who isn't doing much entrepreneuring lately?

Nah, wasn't an entrepreneurship major. Thought about double majoring in it for a while, but decided to go a different route. There was just a huge lack of interest in the program. They cancelled multiple classes because enough students simply had not signed up for them, causing some entrepreneurship majors to have a very hard time completing the required amount of credits (international entrepreneurship was one, can't remember the other). For an entrepreneurship major, there seemed to be a surprising lack of out-of-classroom experience building. I'm pretty sure I did more actual hands on in my DECA class in high school than my two entrepreneurship classes combined at Marquette. I will say I applaud them for trying to start up an entrepreneurship program, but it needs a lot of work before it can be considered a top 20 program.
