Ohio State and others have eclipsed iu undergrad. I remember in the 80s and 90s it was revered. Now it’s a safety school save the biz schoolBig Ten schools ranked academically by U.S. News for 2024
Ranking Big Ten schools by most recent academic supremacy!
To me, this is more disappointing than our decades of irrelevance in athletics.
Meh, while it’s “not cool”, an overall ranking of a university is largely useless and very difficult to justify a methodology.Big Ten schools ranked academically by U.S. News for 2024

I disagree. People judge universities on job apps. It’s a proxy when you have hundreds or thousands to weed through.
Are you going to turn away a Kelley candidate because IU overall is on the decline?
There are other schools at IU. I don’t really care about Kelley.
I suspect people who hire for corporations know Kelley's rank better than they know IU's. Same for medicine, and music.
Well I disagree - pretty vehemently. There are numerous reasons for a really smart kid to go to IU over those you mentioned. Cost being a major factor.
I just looked it up. There are 14,000 kids going to Kelley. That’s wild. Are you going to let your kids major in whatever they want? Poly sci? Art? Lit?
Yes.
What? Why not?
I’d strongly suggest economics over those others.
What does they’ll be paying for it mean? You counting on schollies? I have no doubt my daughter will get accepted to FSU/mizzou/iu type and won’t get a scholarship or any money. . I’ll have to pay
Ummm….news alert 🚨 I graduated from there. What did you expect? Any respectable institution would have said hell no when I applied.Big Ten schools ranked academically by U.S. News for 2024

Leave his daughter alone. She’s a Bitcoiner.
It means it's on them.
I don't consider "business" an academic subject that should be taught undergraduates at a university.
Don’t like it either. IU business school was top 5 when I graduated. Interesting that OSU has moved up solidly. They were making a big push for that when I was teaching there.Big Ten schools ranked academically by U.S. News for 2024

I felt that way for quite some time as well. That it should be for edification not vocational. A broader education. Enrichment. But the cost has made me reconsider that and so too has my own career. I’m blessed to have six (was seven) very close friends from law school. We literally group text every day. One practices law. That’s it. All of us do other shit. And I wish I would have had business and finance and accounting and economics in my background instead of poly sci, public policy/admin. Real world stuff. The humanities stuff you can learn on your own today.
Didn't mean to come across as boastful. We have our issues just like every other family. But it's clear to me that Kelley is very highly regarded and opens doors.
It’s very simple. If you’re an Indiana kid it will cost $50k+ to go to any of those schools you mentioned. I’m not talking about metrics. I’m talking about real dollars and cents.
The 11 Florida publics are $6k and change for residents. Pretty amazing
For me, I don't think business majors are taught to value or find knowledge, truth, or the good life. I also don't think business subjects are good at teaching students how to challenge themselves and expand their thought and sense of being. And quite frankly, I don't think most business majors learn very much while in college. There's a reason many (most?) elite schools don't offer undergraduate degrees in business.
You can learn the business stuff on your own. It's not difficult.
But you can’t get hired. Sorry, but you can’t work in finance, accounting, marketing etc without the undergrad degree. A full economics major maybe but now you’re splitting hairs over business vs Econ.
I love ya' RangerBoarder, but think you're wrong. Plenty of people don't major in biz as an undergrad and go onto work great jobs within business. Harvard, Yale, Princeton etc. don't even offer undergrad business degrees. They all unemployable? You don't think a math major has a shot at a finance job? Plus, if you want, you can (and probably should, nowadays) get an MBA. Here's one article of many on this subject:

I feel like you’re wrong brother but I don’t know. @BadWakeboarder how do you get in at these big companies today without a biz related degree? Do they interview poly sci/history majors? I feel like recruiting prevents that. Again I don’t knowI love ya' RangerBoarder, but think you're wrong.

No - they don’t. I truly have no idea where Brad is coming from. Later in career the degree is less important - but an entry level job in business will absolutely require it.
But I highly endorse an economics degree.
I just feel like unfortunately the cost involved has changed things to force education to be more results oriented. A quarter of a mil isn’t a joke. As well as home prices, insurance, daycare, etc. you have to make money today. Sucks
Math, physics, and economics are all in the humanities.
The fact that the U of Illinois is ranked so high tells me that this is a bogus ranking.Big Ten schools ranked academically by U.S. News for 2024

How about a career as a CPA? They just seem so cool.
We’ll inflate that away until a year of college=a 20 piece from Popeyes.
No, I'd turn them away because they're so full of themselves.
