Please note: Kenan-Flagler Business School, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, was incorrectly listed in the 2006 QS recruiter survey and thus does not appear in this year's rankings. The school will be included in next year's survey. We regret the error.
I have contacted the group who did the research myself and they admitted that they actually attributed any data or replies they received from recruiters who mentioned the University of North Carolina business school to N.C. State. So in fact, it looks like they may have misattributed the data and actually scored the N.C. State College of Management higher while not scoring Kenan Flagler at all.
