Disagree with the above advice.

Internships are important for business majors and community colleges typically are not good for placing students in internships.

If you spend 1 year at CC and then transfer, you still have 3 years at a business program to get internships and other experiences.

going to CC and saving money has nothing to do with business major.

Santa Clara and University of San Diego have terrific undergrad business programs. Happy kids and sunshine. Social but not party animal, not too big or small. If you are not focused on staying East Coast, have a closer look.

I find that list strange. Towson is listed #66, but UMD is not in T100. That is an utterly bizarre list.

What about T50 and below? Not sure DC would get in with their stats -- above average grades and no spectacular extra curriculars.

Perhaps I’m wrong, but it looks like the OP wants schools well BELOW the Indianas & Fordhams & Lehighs of this world. (I know IU’s overall ranking is way below its business ranking, but that’s fairly unusual.)

Perhaps the phrase “T75 AND below” should have read “below 75”? I think the OP might want business programs in colleges with overall or business rankings of below 50 or 75. In other words, schools where a bright kid with maybe a 3.4 gpa and a 27 ACT can gain admittance & thrive. It would be good to get a clarification from the original poster.

Undergrad Business school rankings.

-OP

And we probably cannot afford private or expensive OOS public.

I’m the PP that suggested the Catholic-Jesuit schools.

My DD attends one. They all provided varying degrees of merit aid to reduce our cost of attendance.

I would run the schools NPC (Net Price Calculators) to get a likely cost for your family.

I understand what you meant by 'T75 below' means 'below T75'.

Fordham ranked #89 would be the winner for business for schools between #75-#100

Northeastern is ranked #53 for this round by USN&WR.

So Northeastern is the winner for 'below T50' schools.

FYI, recruiting for business at that level is highly regional in nature. If this person is trying to work in DC, then going to a school in Texas like SMU isn't actually going to be as helpful as GMU, VCU, JMU, UMBC, or Towson. I saw it first hand. I went to U. of Wisconsin and got a job at a big consulting firm in Chicago. One of my co-workers went to Northern Illinois of all places (though had very high grades). While my high school friend that went to Tulane couldn't even get an interview. Two partners went to NIU every year to interview 40 kids, would hire 3-4 and they never went to places like Case Western, Oberlin, Tulane, SMU, or places like that because those schools didn't typically feed into the Chicago employment market, so they didn't think their yield would be very cost effective to recruit there.

PP again. Another huge advantage that local or regional kids have is that they can do internships and co-ops outside of the summer when they are so much easier to get. Even part-time like working an afternoon once a week can lead to connections to get a full-time offer. A lot of employers will pick kids that they know and like versus the guesswork with a random resume on a list of 200+ applicants.

So it isn't so much the prestige of the school, but what you do there and the connections you make.

My daughter is freshman business major at our state flagship. She had looked into a Jesuit college also, and they were very generous w merit aid and a grant.

We don’t live near our flagship. Hoping internships in the future will lead to jobs where she settles. I like the idea of PP stating part time and year round internships may be available as opposed to only interning in the summer.

I never had to chase down an internship while in college; it seems a bit challenging but she’ll navigate it I’m sure.

Good thread! Good luck to your child.

Not all colleges participated.
