RPI’s Lally School of Management and Technology made its debut on Business Week Magazine’s list of the top 50 undergraduate business programs in the country. The Lally School was ranked 40th on the 2007 list. This was only the second year rankings were issued. The rankings pulled from a variety of sources for input, including a survey of 77,000 graduating seniors from 123 programs and 486 corporate recruiters.
David Gautschi, dean of the Lally School, noted that the citation recognizes the Lally School’s ability to create leaders that are actively sought by several business organizations or go on to start their own companies. He also admitted that there was room for improvement, and that he hoped to continue to make the school better by cultivating stronger ties with external corporations and developing new innovative programs.
