*A separate first-time survey of undergraduate business programs ranked the Kenan-Flagler Business School third, tied with three others. The school's general management department placed fourth in a list of top departments.
*Carolina ranked fourth among public campuses and 27th overall in a comprehensive list of national universities. The rankings appeared in the magazine's annual "America's Best Colleges" issue, released last fall.
