Online business education and career guide
The ranking combines the results of seven of the most influential business school rankings from around the world (US News & World Report; BusinessWeek; Forbes; Financial Times; The Economist; Quacquarelli Symonds; and Eduniversal) to create a comprehensive ranking of the best business schools for an MBA in the United States. The ranking results of each publication were weighted the same to remove the subjective elements of each publication's methodology and provide a more accurate picture of a business school's stature.
The ranking lists Stanford University Graduate School of Business as #1, followed by the Harvard University Business School at #2, and the University of Chicago Booth School of Business at #3.
"An MBA is a globally known professional credential that can allow for pay raises and promotions," stated Tammie Cagle, editor of Top Management Degrees. "The study of becoming a skilled and knowledgeable businessperson and manager can be one of the most important investments in a professional's life."
