Poets & Quants has released their 9th annual MBA ranking. P&Q integrates the five most recent rankings from the top publications in the world: U.S. News & World Report, Forbes, Bloomberg Businessweek, The Financial Times, and The Economist to come up with their rankings. Each source is ranked based on P&Q’s determination of their credibility. U.S. News has a weight of 35%, Forbes 25%, The Financial Times 15%, Businessweek 15%, and The Economist 10%.
Some of the findings in this year’s rankings are:
- UPenn Wharton and Harvard Business School are tied for first place. This is Wharton’s second year in a row in the top spot.
- Michigan Ross joined the Top 10, pushing Yale School of Management into 11th place.
- The biggest gain was seen by the USC Marshall which was ranked 26th two years ago. This year Marshall rose 6 places to hold the #20 spot.
- Notre Dame Mendoza slid 5 places from 24 to 29, and is the only one of last year’s Top 25 that failed to stay in the Top 25. Here are Poets & Quants Top 25 MBA Programs for 2018 (numbers in parenthesis are for the 2017 rankings):
