Duke’s Fuqua’s School of Business and the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business came in at number 14.

The Kenan-Flagler Business School at UNC Chapel Hill is ranked number 19.

The data is based on surveys conducted in fall 2007 of more than 1,200 professional school programs and some 14,000 academics and professionals. The programs are ranked based on two types of data: expert opinion about program quality and statistical indicators that measure the quality of a school's faculty, research, and students.
