Earning a master's degree in business enables students to build professional networks, identify career opportunities, and improve their prospects for promotions and raises. U.S. News' Best Business Schools rankings compare full-time campus-based Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs on their career attainment success, student excellence and qualitative assessments by experts.


This methodology was designed for recent college graduates who oftentimes may remove themselves or reduce their participation in the workforce to have a traditional MBA experience. It is therefore different from U.S. News' methodologies on college-level business programs, fully online business degrees or part-time MBAs that we rank separately and have designed for different types of learners at different stages in their careers.


Half of the rankings formula evaluated institutions on the successful job attainment and earnings outcomes of their graduates. The other half is a combination of academic metrics about the achievements of entering students and opinions from business schools, corporate recruiters and company contacts on overall program quality.


A school's overall Best Business Schools rank should be one consideration – not the lone determinant – in where a student applies. The rankings assess academic quality and graduate success – factors that are universally important to prospective students. But personal considerations involving location, campus culture, strength of specific programs, and cost after tuition and financial aid are also very important.


U.S. News supplements its overall rankings with specialized subject rankings and a directory of business school profiles searchable by distinguishing characteristics. The specialized rankings include 13 distinct rankings by area such as finance, international business and marketing. The full rankings, search tool and complete directory enable prospective students to compare an array of academic and nonacademic characteristics across schools to inform their choice.

How the Rankings Were Calculated


U.S. News derived each school's overall rank by scoring them on the nine distinct ranking factors explained in the section below. These scores were standardized so they could be compared with the means and standard deviations among all other ranked schools. Next, the standardized values were weighted, totaled and rescaled so the top school received 100; other schools received their percentage of the top score. Finally, each business school was numerically ranked in descending order of its overall score.


For data collection in fall 2024 and early 2025, U.S. News surveyed 508 institutions with master's-level business programs in the U.S. accredited by AACSB International, an organization widely considered to be the gold standard of business school accreditation. Eligible schools reported on their full-time in-person, hybrid, and flexible learning programs – as defined by Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) guidelines – that included a foundation of general management skills and knowledge. These are most often Master of Business Administration programs, although some degree offerings included in this ranking have titles such as Master of Science in management and Master of Science in industrial administration. In most cases, schools reported these as being either traditional two-year programs or accelerated programs that could be completed in 12 to 18 months. Schools not meeting the above criteria, such as those only offering specialized business degrees, were not eligible for the Best Business Schools rankings, although some submitted data for profiles.


Among those surveyed as part of the Best Business Schools, a total of 337 statistical survey recipients responded. U.S. News ranked 133 business schools with eligible programs that provided enough job attainment data on their graduates for each applicable ranking indicator, explained in the ranking factors section below.


For this edition, schools needed to have responded to U.S. News' most recent statistical survey to be eligible for any business ranking (including those that did not use statistical data) and to receive a profile. This was implemented because the roster of schools offering different kinds of programs changes annually and confirmation was needed to ensure these programs are active.


As always, U.S. News relies on schools to accurately report their data.


Rankings questions on admissions data largely adhered to GMAC guidelines. Graduate outcomes questions adhered to MBA Career Services and Employer Alliance (MBA CSEA) guidelines. Both are the industry standard for reporting business school data among AACSB-accredited programs.


The ranking factors and weights for this edition maintained the previous two editions' increased emphasis on outcome measures and reduced emphasis on qualitative assessments by schools and recruiters. This change was made in 2023 because employment and earnings outcomes are the driving force for many individuals seeking to further their education, namely business school students who exited the workforce with the goal of gaining advanced earning power and better career opportunities. This is particularly relevant as recent graduates from many large schools are increasingly struggling to find employment.

Here is a breakdown of the ranking indicators:

Attainment success
 includes four ranking indicators on employment and earnings that in total contributed 50% to each school's overall rank. Note that all these factors only apply to graduates seeking employment, meaning schools are not directly helped or hurt by graduates who are entrepreneurs or pursue further education.


There are two distinct indicators on employment rates for 2023 and 2024 graduates of full-time MBA programs:

<ul>
<li>Employment rates at graduation (weighted 7%).</li><li>
Employment rates three months after graduation (13%).</li>
</ul>

Both indicators required the proportions of graduates for whom no job-seeking information is available and for those who are not seeking jobs to be a maximum of half of graduates; otherwise the school was not ranked.


For a school to be ranked, it needed to have reported on a total of at least 20 job-seeking graduates over the past two years, including five in the most recent year (reduced from 10 in the 2024 edition). U.S. News newly calculated both employment indicators as two-year weighted averages; meaning if the 2024 graduating class had twice as many students as the 2023 class then its data would count twice as much.

Mean starting salary and bonus (20%): 
This is the average starting salary and bonus of 2023 and 2024 graduates of a full-time MBA program. Salary figures are based on the number of graduates who reported data. The mean signing bonus is weighted by the proportion of graduates who reported a bonus, because not everyone who reported a base salary figure reported a signing bonus. This was newly calculated as a two-year weighted average, similar to employment.


The business school profiles display two-year averages of both salary and employment data that were used in the rankings. Individual year breakdowns are available for subscribers to Academic Insights, an interactive data platform available only for schools.

Salary by profession (10%): Schools report to U.S. News their graduates' starting annual salaries by profession, in accordance with MBA CSEA guidelines. The professions are:
<ul>
<li>
Consulting</li><li>
Finance/accounting</li><li>
General management</li><li>
Human resources</li><li>
Marketing/sales</li><li>
Information technology</li><li>
Operations/logistics</li></ul>
This ranking factor, introduced in last year's edition, assessed for each profession how a school's average graduate salary compared with the average of these average salaries among all ranked schools. This measure adds value by examining, to some extent, the return on investment of an MBA at business schools after controlling for the different interests of students and concentrations offered by the schools.


For example, if a school's mean consulting starting salary was $150,000 and the weighted average among all schools that reported this data was $130,000, its score for consulting would be 150,000/130,000, or about 1.15. This calculation was made for every profession in which a school reported salary data on at least three graduates. Finally, a school's score on this factor was produced by weighting each score by the proportion of its graduates in each profession, excluding professions with fewer than three graduates and graduates listed as being in other job functions.

For a broader measure, U.S. News newly computed this ranking factor as a two-year average of 2023 and 2024 graduates. As with the other attainment factors, schools could be scored on a single year if they did not report usable data both years.

Quality assessment
 includes two qualitative indicators that total 25% of a school's ranking.

Peer assessment score (12.5%):
 Business school deans and directors from each AACSB-accredited MBA program rated other programs' academic quality on a scale 1 (marginal) to 5 (outstanding), and were instructed to mark "don't know" for schools they did not know enough about to evaluate. Responses of "don't know" counted neither for nor against a school. Scores for each school were determined by computing a trimmed mean – eliminating the two highest and two lowest 1 to 5 ratings from all respondents. A school's score is the average of all the 1 to 5 ratings it received. The survey was administered by U.S. News in fall 2024 and early 2025. A valid response rate cannot be determined because many business schools do not administer full-time MBA programs; therefore, U.S. News cannot determine the true percentage of programs in existence that participated. But approximately half of the ranked Best Business Schools participated in the peer assessment survey.
Recruiter assessment score (12.5%): Corporate recruiters and company contacts rated full-time MBA programs' academic quality on a scale from 1 (marginal) to 5 (outstanding), and were instructed to mark "don't know" for schools they did not know enough about to evaluate. Responses of "don't know" counted neither for nor against a school. Scores for each school were determined by computing a trimmed mean – eliminating the two highest and two lowest 1 to 5 ratings from all respondents. A school's score is the weighted average of all 1 to 5 ratings it received in the three most recent years of survey results. Programs receiving fewer than 10 cumulative ratings over three years received an assigned value matching the lowest average score achieved by any ranked program that garnered at least 10 ratings and display an "N/A" instead of a recruiter assessment score in the usnews.com directory. U.S. News administered the recruiter survey in fall 2024 and early 2025. Recipient names were supplied to U.S. News in summer 2024 by MBA programs previously ranked by U.S. News and those eligible to be ranked.Student selectivity
 comprises three admissions indicators that total 25% of each school's rank.
Median GMAT and GRE scores (13%):
 This incorporates the 50th percentile of GMAT scores (both the old exam and the new exam) and GRE quantitative, verbal and analytical writing scores of full-time MBA students entering in fall 2024. All five scores, when reported, were converted to 0 to 100 percentile distributions specific to their exams. U.S. News then weighted these percentile distributions based on the proportions of new entrants submitting the GMAT vs. GRE exams. For example, if 80% of a school's test-takers submitted old GMAT scores and 20% submitted GRE scores, its 0 to 100 old GMAT percentile distribution would be multiplied by 0.8 and its 0 to 100 GRE percentile distribution would be multiplied by 0.2; then the two adjusted values are combined for the final score. This means U.S. News did not convert GRE scores to GMAT scores or vice versa in its calculations.

U.S. News instructed schools to report on all exams of record because the use of three different exams in this year's computations meant small counts of test-takers for individual exams could in the aggregate represent a significant share of entering students. But for student privacy, and in accordance with GMAC standards, U.S. News only published and disseminated scores on individual exams that were on 10 test-takers or 10% of the entering class (whichever was larger). This suppression means schools' indicator ranks on the GMAT/GRE ranking factor in Academic Insights will not perfectly align with the test scores data.

This year for the first time, U.S. News used collected data on both the old GMAT test and the new GMAT test that was introduced in fall 2023. If an MBA program's school reported both tests for fall 2024 entrants, then both tests were used in the rankings after being converted to the percentile distribution weighted by the proportion of test-takers for each GMAT test. U.S. News labels the fields with old exam data on its website and Academic Insights as "(old)" while new exam scores do not have this designation.

If a school's combined percentages of its fall 2024 entering class submitting GMAT and GRE scores was less than a 25% threshold of all its new entrants, it received less credit on this ranking indicator on a sliding scale. For example, if 20% of the entering class submitted test scores, the final composite GMAT and GRE 0 to 100 percentile distribution used in the rankings was multiplied by 20/25 or 0.8. Scores among all exams needed to be reported on at least 10 new entrants or 10% of the entering class (whichever was larger) for a school to get credit.

The minority of ranked schools that did not report eligible GMAT and GRE scores were scored on their fall 2023 entering class values as a substitute. Otherwise, they received an assigned value for this indicator equaling the lowest score among schools that reported usable data. This was done out of fairness so that every school using GMAT/GRE scores in admissions received a score at least equal to schools not using these exams in admissions.

Schools' reported GMAT and GRE data is only available on usnews.com via a U.S. News Business School Compass subscription.

Median undergraduate GPA (10%): 
This is the 50th percentile undergraduate GPA of students entering the full-time program in fall 2024. Schools often were not able to report these scores for all new entrants – particularly for international students – however, all ranked full-time MBA programs reported scores on nearly half of their new entrants or higher. Schools needed to report this data on at least five new entrants, or fall 2023 data was used.
Acceptance rate (2%): This is the percentage of applicants to the full-time program in fall 2024 who were accepted. Lower acceptance rates indicate greater selectivity.
Schools Listed With a Ranking Range

U.S. News displayed the individual ranks of the top 90% of schools and elected to display the lowest ranking 10% of schools in a ranking range. Schools listed with a ranking range are listed alphabetically.

U.S. News will supply schools listed in the ranking range with their numerical ranks if they submit a request following the procedures listed on the Information for School Officials page.
Eligibility

If a school is not ranked in Best Business Schools, U.S. News did not calculate a rank because either the school reported it did not offer an eligible full-time MBA program or because the school did not report program-level data that met the ranking criteria described below.

To receive a numeric rank or ranking range in the Best Business Schools ranking, a program needed to deliver some campus-based instruction at recurring intervals (for example, not purely an online MBA), provide U.S. News with enough statistical data for each attainment indicator in the rankings, and report that at least 50% of its 2024 graduating class were seeking employment. Additionally, 20 members of the 2023 and 2024 graduating classes, including five in the most recent class, needed to be seeking employment for a school to be rank-eligible.

Predominantly online master's programs that are not eligible to be ranked in the Best Business Schools ranking may have been ranked in U.S. News' latest rankings of the Best Online MBA Programs and the Best Online Master's in Business Programs.
 Specialty Rankings

U.S. News produced 13 standalone rankings of popular specialties. These areas are offered through concentrations and coursework that often award credit toward schools' broader MBA program degrees. In some other cases, business schools administered dedicated master's degree programs in these areas. The ranked business specialties include: accounting, business analytics, entrepreneurship, finance, information systems, international business, management, marketing, nonprofit management, production/operations, project management, real estate and supply chain/logistics management.

These rankings, as well as an additional ranking of executive MBA programs, are based solely on ratings by business school deans and directors of AACSB-accredited MBA programs from the list of schools surveyed. They were asked to nominate up to 15 programs for excellence in each area listed.

Schools receiving the most votes in each specialty are numerically ranked in descending order based on the number of nominations they received, as long as the school or program received seven or more nominations in that specialty area. This means schools ranked at the bottom of each specialty ranking received at least seven nominations.
To be ranked in the specialties this year, a school had to have responded to the statistical survey in the fall 2024 and early 2025 data collection so that U.S. News could determine the curriculum was (still) offered.
Part-time MBA Programs

As part of its Best Business Schools survey, U.S. News also collected data on part-time programs, when applicable. This data was not incorporated into the full-time MBA program ranking, but was applied toward a distinct 2025 Best Part-time MBA Programs ranking. Part-time program data was also published in each school's Best Business Schools directory profile, including outcomes career data on employment and earnings of the 2024 graduating class. This part-time MBA outcomes data is for informational use only and was not used in the ranking.
School Data, Directory and Search

For this edition, a business school must have been a respondent to the statistical survey in the fall 2024 and early 2025 data collection to have its data appear in the usnews.com business school directory. This means that only the MBA programs that responded to the statistical survey have individual profile pages with rankings data and distinguishing characteristics. These are populated from data that schools reported directly to U.S. News. If a data point is listed as "N/A," the school did not provide it for the most recent year. Note that for the rankings calculations, in a minority of cases U.S. News used previous year admissions data when the most recent year was not reported on a sufficient count of new entrants.

Each school's profile page can be accessed using U.S. News' search tool. You can filter ranked schools by factors like location, tuition, undergraduate GPA and average starting salary to create personalized shortlists of programs to examine further.

Check back every now and then, as we occasionally add content to the website when we obtain additional data we think is useful or we learn information that changes the data. As always, review U.S. News' editorial content that provides insights about business school trends and applying to business school.
