While nabbing an impressive salary may be a big motivator for a top-notch business degree, graduates first have to find an employer to give them one.
Indeed, gainful employment is one of the biggest selling points of attending a ranked business program, and 2024 graduates did very well in a tightening job market – at least those who graduated from one of the schools in our 2025 ranking of the Best Undergraduate Business Schools.
In fact, 90% or more of job-seeking graduates from nearly a third of the 104 programs we ranked in 2025 found a job within 3 months of walking the stage. The employment rate was 85% or higher at 79 of the ranked schools. Across all programs, the average employment rate was 87.7%.
One school, Roger Williams University (Gabelli) (ranked No. 78th overall), placed every graduate who sought a job for the Class of 2024 while four others placed at least 99%.

INTERNSHIPS AT RANKED B-SCHOOLS
Securing a business-focused summer internship is an important rite of passage for most B-school students. Not only do they provide essential real-world experience and resume props, they often lead to full-time job offers for strong candidates.
That’s why both employment and internship rates make up a significant portion of our Career Outcomes category of our ranking methodology. The employment rate for job-seeking graduates three months after graduation accounts for 50% of the category score while the internship rate accounts for 20%.
As with all metrics, some schools do better than others at helping students land those summer positions.
Ten programs reported that 100% of its Class of 2024 graduates had at least one business-specific internship during their degrees. That’s two more programs than last year’s ranking.
Five of those schools posted 100% internship rates for the last two graduating classes, as you can see in the table below.
