Methodology
U.S. News’ full-time MBA ranking is based on a weighted formula that combines career outcomes, academic credentials, and peer reputation.
Career measures account for 50% of the score, including mean starting salary and bonus (20%); employment rates three months after graduation (13%); salary by profession (10%); and employment rates at graduation (7%). Academic inputs make up 20% of the score, split evenly between undergraduate GPA and GMAT/GRE scores. Peer school assessments and recruiter assessments each account for 12.5%, and work experience rounds out the formula at 5%.
