The W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University made strides in several areas in the new U.S. News & World Report 2025 Best Colleges Rankings.
The school's overall undergraduate business programs ranking jumped from No. 29 last year to No. 27 (tied), ahead of University of Colorado Boulder, Brigham Young University and George Washington University.
"ASU and W. P. Carey are showing every day that access and excellence can go hand in hand," said Ohad Kadan, Charles J. Robel Dean and W. P. Carey Distinguished Professor of Business. "W. P. Carey is the largest business school in the country, and we are extremely proud that we are able to provide our students with highly ranked and rigorous programs taught by leading faculty.”
The undergraduate programs also excelled across several subject area rankings, including: No. 2, supply chain management; No. 9 (tied), information systems; No. 9, production/operations management; No. 10, analytics; No. 12, business management; No. 13, accounting; No. 19 (tied), finance; No. 24 (tied), international business; and No. 26 (tied), entrepreneurship.
In spring and early summer, U.S. News asked deans and senior faculty members at undergraduate business programs accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business to rate the quality of all programs. Average peer assessment scores were used to calculate the rankings.
"There are around 20,000 undergraduate students at W. P. Carey, and we are committed to providing each of them with a world-class business education that will serve them well, and make rippling impacts in their careers, families and communities," said Michele Pfund, senior associate dean of undergraduate programs at W. P. Carey. "It's an honor to be recognized among so many great programs doing that work."

In addition to the accolades for the undergraduate programs, the W. P. Carey full-time MBA has recently been recognized.
First, Fortune released its Best MBA Programs for 2025 list, and W. P. Carey landed at No. 29, ahead of Indiana University and the University of Notre Dame. Then, Bloomberg released its Best Business Schools Rankings 2024–25, and again the full-time MBA ranked No. 29 among U.S. schools, ahead of the University of Southern California, Notre Dame and Washington University.
