The University of Dayton School of Business Administration was named one of the top 50 business schools in the nation for undergraduates by Poets & Quants for Undergrads, a news outlet and resource for students.

“Our ranking as 49th best in the country is based on the quality of our students, the meaningful experiences they have here, and their success after graduation,” said Dean Trevor Collier. “We are on the national map in all these areas thanks to our well-rounded and driven students, our dedicated faculty and staff, the strong experiential learning programs, and partnerships, including our newly opened space in downtown Dayton, The Hub Powered by PNC Bank, where students learn alongside entrepreneurs.”

UD students are encouraged to apply what they learn in and out of the classroom to build resilient communities and economies. The Hub provides space for students, faculty and staff to interact with the local Dayton economy through innovation and entrepreneurship. Other opportunities available to receive hands-on experiences preparing them for the job market include participating in any of the 26 organizations and programs affiliated with the School of Business Administration. 

Two of these programs include the largest student-run fund of $64.6 million at the Davis Center for Portfolio Management, and Flyer Enterprises, the sixth-largest student-run business in the nation where students can rise in ranks from barista to CEO.

The data used by Poets & Quants to determine the rankings include admissions, alumni experience and career outcomes data and results. This is the first time the University of Dayton School of Business Administration received a ranking from Poets & Quants.
