This year, the Robins School of Business was recognized as one of the top 20 undergraduate schools in the nation (ranked at No. 17, up from No. 18 last year) by Poets&Quants for Undergrads, the leading publication for business school education.

Prospective business students and their parents rely on these rankings to determine which schools to apply to.

The business school achieved notable rankings in other categories as well, including No. 15 for career outcomes, No. 21 for admissions standards, and No. 25 for academic experience.

Robins has maintained its presence in the top 20 for four consecutive years.

“We are proud that this year’s rankings recognize our unwavering commitment to providing a dynamic undergraduate experience — one that is both academically rigorous and prepares our students for meaningful careers that make a positive impact,” said Mickey Quiñones, dean of the business school.

Quiñones notes that innovative programs such as the Spider Business Hub are helping Robins lead the way in career preparedness through hands-on learning.

“The Spider Business Hub is a signature initiative of the Robins School that embodies our commitment to experiential learning,” he said. “By immersing students directly in real-world projects, it provides invaluable professional experience and the opportunity to develop strong client relationship skills well before graduation.”

Other Robins School programs such as the Lessing Trading Floor and the Student Managed Investment Fund also translate skills learned in the classroom and offer experience with financial data, trading tools, and portfolio management.

This recognition from Poets&Quants comes as the Robins School celebrates its 75th anniversary, equating to many years of growth and student-focused education.
