- Hey everybody, welcome
to Crimsom Education.
My name is Gus.
Today we're going to be
taking a look at the top seven
fiance and accounting schools
according to the QS rankings.
For those who don't know, the
QS rankings take into account
academic productivity,
employer reputation,
and the H index.
Obviously rankings are
only a part of the story
of which school is right for you,
and if you would like
some help in figuring out
which school is right for your
finance or accounting career path,
you should click on the link
below in the description,
and you will be connected with
one of our academic experts.
Number seven on our list is
the University of Pennsylvania
because of its Wharton School of Business.
Wharton is famous as one
of the finest undergraduate
business educations in the world.
What separates Wharton
from most of the economics
programs at other
undergraduate institutions
is its focus on actual,
practical, applicable skills.
So you won't just be
learning the theoreticals
of why the economy works the way it does,
you'll be learning how
to apply those concepts
in a real world business setting.
Wharton's cuticulum is customizable,
allowing you to focus on any aspect
of business or finance you want,
including management or operations.
Famous alumni of Wharton
include Sundar Pinchai,
the CEO of Google, Elon Musk,
founder of SpaceX and Tesla,
and Warren Buffett, the world famous
billionaire hedge fund manager.
Number six on our list is
the University of Chicago's
Booth School of Business,
located in Chicago, Illinois.
To date, nine members of
the Booth Business School
faculty have earned Nobel
Prizes for their work.
That's a lot of, that's more
Nobel Prizes than I have.
The Booth School also has a
legendary finance cuticulum,
which covers both corporate
fiance and investing.
Some notable alumni of the Booth School
include Eugene Fama,
the 2013 Nobel Laureate
in economic sciences, widely recognized
as the father of modern science.
Not a lot of people get to say that.
And Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft,
succeeding Steve Ballmer in 2014.
Steve Ballmer is in
another one of our videos.
You should check him out, he's cool too.
(cheering wildly)
Number five on our list is LSE
or the London School of Economics,
which as the name might suggest,
is in London studies
economics, among other things.
It's a school too.
LSE is a specialized research university
focusing on business,
finance, and economics.
LSE is also located close to
London's financial district,
which is a huge boon
for students at the
school, as they're able to
work closely with financial
partners all over London.
Two famous alumni of the
London School of Economics
are former president
of Kenya Jomo Kenyatta
and Pierre Trudeau, former
prime minister of Canada.
You might know his son, Justin Trudeau,
who also became prime minister of Canada.
It kind of runs in the Trudeau family.
Number four on our list is
the University of Oxford
also located in the United Kingdom,
with its Saïd Business School.
The Saïd Business School was named after
prominent business man and
philanthropist, Wafic Saïd.
The Saïd Business School
is particularly famous
for its accounting researchers,
who routinely publish
in the top accounting
journals in the world.
The world class faculty in
addition to their duties
at the Saïd Business
School, also participate
in other financial
institutions around the world,
including the Center
for Business Taxation,
the Center for Corporate Reputation,
and the Private Equity Institute.
Number three on our list is
the Stanford Graduate School of Business,
located on Stanford's campus,
in Palo Alto, California.
The Graduate School of
Business at Stanford
offers several degrees, including an MDA,
an MSx for executives
looking to get more training
in management in the
middle of their careers,
and a PhD track as well.
The PhD program at the Stanford
Graduate School of Business
is designed more with scholarship in mind
than understanding corporate science,
while the master's degrees
are more for business people
looking to get in, get skills,
and get back out into the working world.
At Stanford, there's
also a lot of student-led
finance extracurriculars,
including Stanford Finance,
a group which encourages
financial education among
the Stanford student body.
Number two on our list is
the Sloan School of Business
at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology or MIT.
MIT's Sloan offers degrees
at the bachelor, master's,
and PhD level, as well
as executive training.
Sloan's MBA program is
considered one of the most
competitive and high profile in the world.
Students who are in the Sloan MBA program
can also cross-register at
Harvard Business School.
It's the only partnership of its kind
at this level of business school.
If you've ever driven a zip car
or bought or sold stocks on E-Trade,
you've used MIT Sloan alumni products.
And number one on our
list is Harvard University
located in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Harvard is on our list,
despite not having a finance
or accounting undergraduate degree.
Rather, the star of this show
is Harvard Business School,
commonly ranked as the number one
business school in the world.
One of the most famous
Harvard Business School
programs is it's two plus two MBA degree.
Where students agree to
work in the real world
for two years before coming
to Harvard Business School
to get two years of MBA training.
Also at the undergraduate
level at Harvard,
one third of graduating seniors
go into finance, business, or consulting.
Notable Harvard Business School Alumni
include economics titan Michael Porter,
Michael Bloomberg, and
Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg.
Okay, so that was the top
seven finance and accounting
schools in the world, but

finance or accounting school?
