Business school ranks in two lists of nation's best colleges

Those who wish to enroll in business school may benefit from researching the country's best programs. Individuals who are seeking a business education may want to ensure that their school is academically challenging, as well as accommodating of their educational needs.

U.S. News and World Report and PARADE Magazine recently released lists of the nation's best schools, which may be beneficial to those who are unsure of which program to choose.

Topping both lists is Villanova School of Business, which achieved the top spot for undergraduate programs in each publication. Villanova was ranked among seven of the top schools for business and accounting, which includes well-known colleges such as Babson and Wharton.

Over 92 percent of Villanova accounting graduates have a job within six months, and receive salaries that are nearly 10 percent higher than the national average.

"Professors at Villanova help connect students with well-developed internships and a network in the business community, but business education is also embedded in the context of a liberal arts and humanities background, with an ethical foundation that encourages students to get involved in service programs off campus and learning communities on campus," PARADE writes.

Those who wish to enroll in a program that provides high returns on their tuition costs may want to spend time researching the best schools.
