Bloomberg Businessweek Best Business Schools

What It Is: One of the oldest rankings of US-based full-time MBA rankings with an emphasis on job success.

Why It Matters To You: Each school’s ranking is based on surveys of recruiters, alumni, and students, as well as recent graduates’ success at landing jobs and securing high starting wages.

Considerations: Schools are both ranked and given individual ranking index scores. Index scores allow for finer differentiation between schools. In addition to providing a comparison tool, one can also compare schools based on their overall rank as well as their ranking in each one of the five components: employer survey (35%), alumni survey (30%), student survey (15%), job placement rate (10%), and starting salary (10%). Previous rankings are not easily accessible.
