‘Poets & Quants’ Again Ranks Duquesne Among Best Undergraduate Business Schools

Poets & Quants, a leading online publication for undergraduate business and education news, ranked Duquesne No. 77 on its prestigious annual list. Accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), Duquesne's School of Business shapes students into leaders with entrepreneurial mindsets who challenge conventional thinking, seize new opportunities and make a difference in the business world and beyond.

Only about 6% of the world’s business schools have earned AACSB accreditation. Moreover, only around 10% of AACSB-accredited schools make the Poets & Quants undergraduate rankings each year.

"We are very proud to appear on Poets & Quants’ data-driven ranking of the best undergraduate business schools in the nation for the 5^th consecutive year,” says Dr. Dean McFarlin, dean of the Palumbo-Donahue School of Business. “This puts us in elite company and the recognition validates our hands-on approach to providing our students with a transformative education for lifelong success.”  

In determining the rankings, Poets & Quants uses three components to measure undergraduate business schools: admissions standards, students’ academic experiences and their career outcomes after graduation.  For 2023, Poets & Quants surveyed over 5,000 alumni and collected school-reported data. In the final scoring, only 92 business schools met the selection standards.

“Our highest component score was in the Academic Experience category and that comes as no surprise given the depth and breadth of our project-based curriculum as well as the commitment of our faculty to develop students into difference-makers,” adds McFarlin.
