<p>Today's Financial Times (Jan 30) has a Special Report on business education that includes their global ranking of MBA programs. Wharton is #1. :)</p>
<p>Hbs>>>>>>>wharton.</p>
<p>That ranking seems very skewed towards LBS (ranked no. 5) it's no mystery given that FT is a UK publication. Personally, i wouldnt rank LBS in a global Top 10 and certainly not above INSEAD or IMD.</p>
<p>Others: Kellogg is ranked way low (no. 17). MIT is also ranked low (no. 10) - conversely:</p>
<p>Chicago (no. 6) NYU (no. 7) and Tuck (no. 8) seem high.</p>
<p>and surprise, surprise - YALE on the move (as I mentioned in another thread) - look at their upward trend in the last few years - ranked no. 13 a few years ago... as high as no. 9 a couple of years ago. Yale will start breaking into most Top 10 lists more frequently over the next few years.</p>
<p>I've never liked the FT's emphasis on salary increases, which just serve to punish those schools that bring in lots of students who make a lot of money before they enter B-school (hence reducing the salary 'increase'), like MITSloan with all the highly paid engineers that matriculate there. It also screws over those schools who tend to send their people to lower-paying jobs, like Kellogg with marketing.</p>
