biz-80PULLMAN, Wash. – The Washington State University Carson College of Business is one of the best 100 business schools in the nation as noted by recent U.S. News & World Report rankings.

The undergraduate international business program ranked 22nd overall and was 13th among public national universities. This continues a tradition of excellence in international business of more than 25 years. The college is home to WSU’s strongest study abroad program, and its global learning requirement, developed seven years ago, established the college as a leader among business schools regarding development of global business leaders.
