Rankings
In recent years, the business education environment has become increasingly competitive, as business schools battle for top-notch students like private enterprises vying for customers. A number of published business school rankings have served to fan the competitive fires. Major publications such as BusinessWeek, Financial Times, Forbes, U.S. News & World Report, and The Wall Street Journal release business school rankings based on their own unique methodology and criteria, ranging from career advancement and return on investment to recruiter satisfaction and program reputation.
While these rankings do not provide easy answers about which schools are best for particular individuals, they can inform prospective students' research efforts and offer assistance in reaching a final decision.
