Robert was postulating that along with the PhD in management that Rice would also introduce an undergraduate business major. Well, they haven't gone that far, but they do now have an undergraduate business minor that consists of 6 courses:
Business communications
Financial accounting
Leading people in organizations
Financial management
Marketing
Strategic management (capstone)
I think this is very cool and makes for a nice offering to supplement the straight-up academic majors. (The reason that intermediate microeconomics is a prereq for the leadership class, which is basically an applied psychology course, is unknown, but whatever.)
Of the top 20 "national universities" (according to US News & World Report), the following schools besides Rice offer some kind of undergraduate business program:
University of Pennsylvania - Joint program
MIT - BS in management; minor
Duke University - Interdisciplinary certificate
Washington U. in St Louis - BSBA
Cornell University - Business minor starting in 2008
Northwestern University - Certificate program
Johns Hopkins University - BS in business and management
Emory University - BBA
U. of Notre Dame - BBA
