Why this major isn't ranked
Public data couldn't rank these programs credibly: the strength of a business program shows in recruiting and faculty, which no public data measures, and pay tracks local job markets, so a score put regional programs above known leaders. So this is a list of schools that offer the major, biggest first, not a ranking. Sources: US Department of Education (College Scorecard, IPEDS), OpenStreetMap and Wikimedia Commons.
