Goizueta Business School’s Undergraduate Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) Program climbed to 8th in the nation in Poets & Quants’ 2025 ranking this spring. The accomplishment underscores Goizueta’s continued commitment to academic excellence, student success, and alumni impact.
Goizueta’s impressive showing in the admissions category played a key role in the rankings jump. The school scored 5th in the nation for admissions, highlighting the outstanding quality of students recruited to Emory.
“This ranking reflects the remarkable energy and momentum within our undergraduate program,” shared John H. Harland Dean of Goizueta Business School Gareth James. “Our ability to attract and develop top-tier students, combined with our innovative approach to business education, continues to set Goizueta apart. We remain committed to fostering a dynamic learning environment where future business leaders thrive.”
A key component of the ranking is academics, as measured by survey responses of program alumni who graduated in 2022. Senior Associate Dean of Undergraduate Education Andrea Hershatter shares that “It is incredibly rewarding to see the ways in which our alumni reflect on their Goizueta experience. They particularly value the intellectual rigor, unique curricular pathways, and experiential learning provided through the BBA program, and they are dedicated to continuing to support the school. Our recent alumni are already serving as mentors, advocates, and sources of inspiration for the next cohort of BBA students.”
The Poets & Quants ranking is based on a comprehensive methodology that evaluates schools across three key dimensions: admissions selectivity, academic experience, and employment outcomes.
Goizueta’s rise in the rankings reflects a strategic focus on developing principled and impactful leaders and entrepreneurs, fostering innovation for a data and technology driven world, and growing a global presence fueled by local synergies. As the school celebrates this accomplishment, it remains dedicated to further enhancing the student experience and preparing graduates for lasting success in an evolving business landscape.
