MBA Rankings

2007-01-14T03:30:00.000-08:00

What are they?

MBA rankings generate a lot of interest and are a subjective assessment of the quality of the school or the program offered. They are generally based on questionnaire answers and compare many different aspects of MBA programs or business schools.

For example, some criteria that are used to compile the rankings are:

Reputation based on the opinion and judgment of recruiters, academics and / or graduates
Salaries on graduation or salary increases of graduates
GMAT scores
Alumni attitudes towards the quality of the MBA program
Academic reputation or the rating of research

Looking at all the different criteria used can make it difficult to draw comparisons between different MBA rankings. However, there are a few major ranking surveys that draw the attention of students, business schools and employers alike and these tend to be used most often as a benchmark to compare MBA schools.

The rankings can also prove useful in researching other aspects such as:

Academic reputation of MBA program, as judged by academics and recruiters. For example, The Wall Street Journal Guide to Top Business Schools 2006 offers a recruiter's perspective of the ranking of business schools
MBA program acceptance rate, average GMAT score, tuition fees and number of places available
What the student profile is and also how international the program is
Top companies recruiting from that business school and employment rates following graduation.

However, bear in mind that many of the business schools do not agree with the methodologies used, even some of the schools that appear top of the ratings. So, to summarize:

Be aware of the limitations in the methodologies used in compiling the MBA rankings.
Use the MBA rankings in conjunction with other resources, such as The Best 282 Business Schools (2007) by Princeton Review and Businessweek Guide to the Best Business Schools to help you to select the right business school for you.

Remember that business school ranking is only one factor in your overall decision and the best determinant of whether the business school can be considered to be a top MBA school for you is how it will help you to achieve your goals.

MBA Accreditation

2006-12-30T12:19:00.000-08:00

Business schools or MBA programs may be accredited by external bodies which provide students and employers with an independent view of their quality, and indicate that the school's educational curriculum meets specific quality standards. The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) is generally regarded as being the most prestigious MBA accreditation, covering business schools worldwide.

The United States also has a six regional accreditation agencies as members of the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA): Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA), New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASCSC), North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA), Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU), Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), and Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).[3]

Other US accreditation agencies include the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) which typically accredits smaller, private American schools, and the International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE).

Accreditation agencies outside the United States include the Association of MBAs (AMBA), a UK organization that accredits schools worldwide; the Council on Higher Education (CHE) in South Africa; the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) for mostly European and Asian schools; and the Foundation for International Business Administration Accreditation (FIBAA) in Europe
