Adelphi University's Willumstad School of Business Achieves First-Ever Ranking in Poets&Quants 2025 Best Undergraduate Business Schools

Garden City, NY (03/17/2025) — Adelphi University's Robert B. Willumstad School of Business is proud to announce its inclusion in the prestigious 2025 Poets&Quants Best Undergraduate Business Schools rankings. This ranking marks a significant milestone for the institution-as its commitment to student success and its faculty's dedication to excellence in teaching have contributed to the school's growing recognition and reputation.

This is the first year that Adelphi's Willumstad School of Business submitted data for consideration to Poets&Quants, and the school's inclusion on the list signals the progress and growth of its undergraduate business program, which provides students with rigorous academic training, real-world business experience, and career-ready skills. The rankings reflect a comprehensive evaluation based on academic experience, career outcomes, admissions selectivity, and other critical factors using institutional and alumni surveys. Of the three categories, academic experience was Adelphi's strongest pillar.

"Inclusion in the Poets&Quants Best Undergraduate Business Schools rankings is a testament to the hard work of our faculty, staff and students," said Mary Anne Hyland, dean of the Willumstad School of Business. "This recognition reflects the growing strength of our school and its academic programs, and our ongoing commitment to providing an outstanding education that prepares students for success in the ever-evolving business world. We provide students with exceptional opportunities for academic growth and career preparation, including job shadowing, internships, leadership development, and networking within the business community - that's what gives our students what we call The Willumstad Winning Edge."

"Each year, Poets&Quants For Undergrads surveys thousands of recent graduates on their experience inside the programs," according to Poets&Quants, which surveyed members of the Class of 2022 business students. "We ask dozens of questions on everything from cost to career impact, from faculty responsiveness to extracurricular opportunities. Nowhere else can school seekers find so much insider information on so many top business programs all in one place."
