CORRECTION: Colgate has an econ major, but offers lots of finance related courses.

It is for BBA degrees.

Those are more likely to be engineering degrees and not business.

Payscale rankings has Babson at #5 and median first year bachelor's degree salary is $90,600

How can this study show Babson at $61,200 for median first year salary?

does payscale only look at grads with just a bachelors?

You can sort it that way. The Babson numbers above are for people with just a bachelors.

GU isn't T20 because the methodology changed 10 years ago, and again last year. Please don't be dense. And T25 is the standard anyway.

It used to be top 25, but now with a couple of state schools in the top 15, it was lowered to top 20. Can’t have too many of those after all.

But publications still use T25. But DCUM and some others will change it to T15 soon.

Folks…read the thread…this is only how well the business majors do, not the overall school.

I know, I meant the business side of tech.

Poets and Quants is still the gold standard for undergrad bus. school rankings. It aligns with Georgetown's list, by and large.

Payscale is self-reported and different time periods. This report is likely using government data from people who have government loans for a specific graduation year.

Georgetown's list is not a ranking. It is a list sorted by salary data.

Sorry, but a list that has Towson as #42 is not a serious list.

FWIW, my kid might end up at Towson, but no way is it #42 best for business undergrad. It also doesn't list UMD.

Poets and Quants is used far more than any other rankings for B schools. Their metrics are very transparent.

Tech companies hire businesses majors. And many here act like the two schools are close.
