Daniels is looking to make up for two years of ineligibility in Businessweek rankings.

For the fourth consecutive year, Daniels College of Business has been invited to participate in Businessweek‘s national undergraduate business school rankings.

Commonly used by recruiters and employers, these rankings are one of the predominant ranking systems and are known for their prestige.

Student and corporate recruiter feedback accommodates half of the criteria taken into account by Businessweek.

The student surveys, which make up 30 percent of the Businessweek rankings, will be sent out to seniors in at Daniels within the next week.

Two years ago, Daniel’s College of Business was ineligible from the survey due to a lack of student survey results. Last year DCB’s administration emphasized getting student responses, however, fell short in feedback from cooperate recruiters, said Chris MacMillan, director of strategic planning and ranking at Daniels.

“We don’t want to tell students how to respond to the surveys, we just encourage them to take the time to fill them out with their honest and open opinions about the program,” she explained. “These rankings hold a lot of weight with recruiters and employers.”

With these rankings the business school hopes to add to their recent recognition after being ranked No. 20 by in a survey by Beyond Grey Pinstripes, as well No. 85 for Executive Master of Business Administration programs in the Financial Times world ranking system.

“I think it’s an exciting opportunity that, as a Daniels student, I can make such a big impact on showing employers how great the Daniels is,” said Scott Fuson, Undergraduate Business Student Association president.

In addition to DCB’s new application process for undergraduates, these new rankings will give prospective business students even more to consider when applying to DU.

The survey will be available to students tomorrow.
