The University of Richmond’s Robins School of Business has once again been named among the nation’s top undergraduate business schools in the annual Best Undergraduate Business Schools rankings by Poets&Quants for Undergrads, the leading online publication for undergraduate business education news.

The Robins School is ranked at No. 17 overall. They have been in the top 20 schools for five consecutive years.

“I am delighted that this year’s rankings recognize Robins’ commitment to providing a challenging, career-focused education with real-world impact,” said Mickey Quiñones, dean of the business school.

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

The University was also recognized as No. 17 in academic experience, up from No. 25 last year. This category highlights alumni satisfaction with overall academics and undergraduate experiences such as consulting projects, global immersion, and professional development programs. It also considers an alumni’s satisfaction with their first job after graduation.

This ranking recognizes the Robins School’s consistency of focus on a rigorous education, while helping students build careers that align with their interests and values.

Programs such as the Spider Business Hub, the Lessing Trading Floor, and the Student Managed Investment Fund build professional skills and provide tangible experience before graduation.

“At Robins, we are preparing students to think broadly, act boldly, and graduate as human-centered, globally minded, and technology-enabled leaders ready to make a difference in the world,” said Quiñones.

The Poets&Quants for Undergrad rankings evaluate undergraduate business schools through surveys of recent graduates. Responses about academic experience, student experience, admissions standards, and career outcomes all factor into the rankings.
