Companies and students spend millions to turn raw recruits into executives and then into world leaders, and to give them the skills they need to think smarter in an increasingly competitive environment. To determine whether M.B.A. programs are providing the right mix for the money, many methodologies for business school rankings include alumni salaries to determine a school's value. This list does not include publications such as Barron's Guide to graduate Business Schools or Peterson's Guide to MBA Programs. You can find those publications through your local library.

The Princeton Review 2009

Methodology: The Princeton Review surveyed more than 19,000 students at 296 business schools, in addition to collecting data from school administrators, to create 11 business school ranking lists for 2009. They attempted to collect student opinions and statistical data from all American graduate business schools accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), as well as from some accredited international business schools. This survey was conducted during the 2007-2008, 2006-2007 or 2005-2006 academic years. They collect data via their website and on paper. The vast majority of the 19,000 student surveys upon which the rankings in this edition are based came to them online.

U.S News and World Report 2009

Methodology: Out of 425 master's degree programs accredited by AACSB International, 383 schools responded to a survey conducted in fall 2007 and in early 2008. However, all 425 schools appear in this directory. Schools were ranked by quality assessment, placement success and student selectivity. Each ranked full-time M.B.A. program was required to have 20 or more graduates who sought employment in 2007. For a school to have its employment data considered in the ranking model, at least 50 percent of its 2007 full-time M.B.A. graduates needed to be seeking work. Business school deans and directors of accredited master's programs from the list of schools surveyed rated the executive M.B.A. and Part-time M.B.A. programs.

Wall Street Journal's Executive M.B.A.s 2008

Methodology: To determine each Executive M.B.A. program's return on investment, WSJ started with 38 schools that were eligible for their Sept. 30, 2008 E.M.B.A. ranking. For this ROI calculation, they separated international and U.S. schools into two groups. They then used data gathered from the graduates' survey used in the overall E.M.B.A. rankings to determine median salary, median expected or received raise upon E.M.B.A. program completion, and the median percent of tuition paid by employers.

Forbes Best Business Schools 2008

Methodology: This is Forbes' fourth biennial ranking of business schools. Their survey ranks schools based on return on investment, meaning compensation five years after graduation minus tuition and the forgone salary during school. Their rankings of business schools are based on the return on investment that graduates of the Class of 2000 received. They sent surveys to 25,000 alumni of 111 M.B.A. programs around the world and heard back from 24 percent. They then adjusted salary figures to account for cost-of-living expenses and discounted the earnings gains, using a rate tied to money market yields.

Financial Times' International Business School Rankings 2008

Methodology: Financial Times gauged their rankings by aims achieved (the extant to which alumni fulfilled their golas or reasons for doing an MBA), international experience rank, recommends and value. The international experience rank was a weighted average of four criteria that measured international exposure. Recommends were gathered from alumni who were asked to name three business schools for recommendations, and value was calculated using the salary earned by current alumni and other factors.

The Consus Group: Composite Business School Rankings 2008

Methodology: The Consus Group used published rankings to reflect current and historical ratings by numerous business sources. These sources comprised 50 percent of the total score. Selectivity, salary, placement and yield also contributed to the overall ranking scores. Selectivity measures the quality of business schools’ admitted candidates, and this information comprised 40 percent of the overall score for each school.

BusinessWeek National Graduate Specialty Program Rankings 2008

Methodology: To identify the top undergraduate business programs, BusinessWeek used a methodology that included nine measures of student satisfaction, post-graduation outcomes, and academic quality. They started with 127 programs that were eligible for ranking, including virtually all of the 123 schools they ranked in 2007 (see below) plus eight new schools that met eligibility requirements. In November, with the help of Cambria Consulting in Boston, they asked more than 80,000 graduating seniors at those 127 schools to complete a 50-question survey on everything from the quality of teaching to recreational facilities. Finally, they created an academic quality gauge of five equally weighted measures. From the schools themselves, they obtained average SAT scores, the ratio of full-time faculty to students, and average class size. These, among other numbers, were used to rate the schools listed.

BusinessWeek International Graduate Specialty Program Rankings 2008

Methodology: BusinessWeek continued to use the same methodology for their international rankings as they did for their national rankings (above). They used a methodology that included nine measures of student satisfaction, post-graduation outcomes, and academic quality. In addition to student surveys, BusinessWeek polled 618 corporate recruiters for companies that hire thousands of business majors each year. They asked them to report on programs that turn out the best graduates, and which schools have the most innovative curricula and most effective career services. Finally, they created an academic quality gauge of five equally weighted measures. From the schools themselves, they obtained average SAT scores, the ratio of full-time faculty to students, and average class size.

BusinessWeek Top Undergrad Business Programs 2007

Methodology: For the 2007 business program rankings, BusinessWeek used three main sources of data: a student survey, a survey of corporate recruiters, and an intellectual capital rating. The three most recent student surveys were first combined for a total student score that counts toward 45 percent of the final ranking. The three most recent recruiter surveys are combined for a total recruiter score that contributes another 45 percent. The intellectual capital rating contributes 10 percent to the final ranking. BusinessWeek determined in 2006 that 30 programs is the largest number of programs that it could rank and still have statistically adequate response rates for all schools on all surveys. Also, space constraints prevented them from listing more than 30 programs.

PhDs.org Business Administration & Management Rankings

Methodology: The National Science Foundation, the National Research Council, and the Department of Education collected data from a number of outside sources, including: Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), National Research Council (NRC), Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED) and Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and Engineering (GSPD) for this list of master's and doctoral business administration and management programs. Unlike other ranking systems, PhDs.org does not use a fixed set of criteria and weights for computing rankings. Instead, you choose a set of criteria of interest and indicate how important each criterion is to you. They then use your weights to rank a set of programs according to your priorities.
