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 Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs on their career placement success, student excellence and qualitative assessments by experts. This methodology was designed with relatively recent college graduates looking to attend a full-time in-person or hybrid graduate program in mind, and is different from methodologies on college-level business programs, fully online business degrees or part-time MBAs that U.S. News ranks separately.

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.

Consequently, U.S. News supplements its overall rankings with specialized subject rankings and a detailed searchable business school directory. 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.

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

How the Rankings Were Calculated

U.S. News derived each school’s overall rank by scoring a school on eight distinct ranking factors explained in the section below. These scores were standardized so they were 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; others 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 2023 and early 2024, U.S. News surveyed all 506 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 campus-based and hybrid programs 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 12-18 months.

Among those surveyed as part of the Best Business Schools, a total of 339 statistical survey recipients responded. U.S. News ranked 124 business schools with full-time, in-person or hybrid programs that provided enough placement data on their graduates for each applicable ranking indicator. Unlike in the previous edition, U.S. News did not rank any full-time MBA programs that did not submit the most recent year's survey. As always, U.S. News relies on schools to accurately report their data.

Rankings questions on admissions data largely adhered to Graduate Management Admission Council 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 edition's increased emphasis on outcome measures and reduced emphasis on qualitative assessments by schools and recruiters. As explained last year, this change was made because employment and earnings outcomes are the driving force behind why many individuals seek to further their education, namely business school students who exited the workforce with the goal of gaining advanced earnings power and better career opportunities.

With that in mind, a change for this edition, explained in greater detail below, was adding a new ranking factor that assessed post-graduate earnings by profession. This granular measure, combined with the existing indicator on overall salaries, facilitated U.S. News placing more emphasis on salaries relative to employment in its formula for measuring outcomes.

Generally, a school's performance on the new ranking factor had a significant positive correlation with the old factor. Even so, schools may have improved or declined a bit in this edition's ranking depending on how well their graduates' salaries, especially when controlling for profession, compared with the graduates of other schools; and whether for them this was a stronger or weaker ranking indicator than employment. Aside from this, changes in methodology, together with changes in an individual school's data, always can result in significant changes to schools’ rankings.

Here is a breakdown of the ranking indicators:

Placement 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 graduates of full-time MBA programs: employment rates at graduation (weighted 7%, previously 10%) and employment rates three months after graduation (13%, previously 20%).

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.

A change for this edition was that for a school to be ranked, it needed to have reported on a total of 20 job-seeking graduates over the past two years, including 10 in the most recent year. For the three previous editions, reporting on only 10 in the most recent graduating class was required – it's a threshold that had been lowered from 20 in prior editions to account for weakened employment prospects early in the COVID-19 pandemic. The revised requirement of 20 graduates, albeit this time over two years, enabled U.S. News to assess a large enough pool of graduates for more valid comparisons.

Along those lines, U.S. News newly calculated both employment indicators as a two-year weighted average. This improved the measurement because statistics on outcome measures are more likely than those from input measures to fluctuate, especially among smaller programs.

The weight for employment indicators was proportionally reduced to make room for the new salary indicator below. U.S. News' research has indicated that compensation is a key driver in how prospective students appraise business schools, and the new ranking factor facilitated a multifaceted approach for assessing the value added by attending any given school.

  • Mean starting salary and bonus (20%): This is the average starting salary and bonus of 2023 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.
  • Salary by profession (10%, new indicator): For years, schools have reported to U.S. News their graduates' starting annual salaries by profession, in accordance with MBA CSEA guidelines. The professions are: Consulting. Finance/accounting. General management. Human resources. Marketing/sales. Information technology. Operations/logistics.

This new ranking factor assessed for each profession how a school's average graduate salary compared with the average of these average salaries among all ranked 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.

This ranking factor was not calculated as a two-year average because it was the first time it was used in the rankings. It was weighted less than the mean starting salary and bonus ranking factor, despite its granularity, for a few reasons: because of the single graduating class cohort; because it sometimes incorporates a smaller share of schools' employed graduates; because starting bonuses are not included as part of compensation; and because an attribute of top performing business schools is that they feed into high-paying fields. Even so, this new 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.

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 of 1 (marginal) to 5 (outstanding), and were instructed to mark "don't know" for schools they did not know enough about to evaluate. A school's score is the average of all the 1-5 ratings it received. The survey was administered by U.S. News in fall 2023 and early 2024, and 58.9% of those surveyed at schools that submitted their statistical survey responded. Once again this year, there is the condition that only schools submitting a statistical survey could have their peer ratings of other schools applied toward the ranking calculations.
  • 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. A school's score is the weighted average of all 1-5 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 2023 and early 2024. Recipient names were supplied to U.S. News in summer 2023 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 and GRE quantitative, verbal and analytical writing scores of full-time MBA students entering in fall 2023. All four scores, when reported, were converted to 0-100 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 GMAT scores and 20% submitted GRE scores, its 0-100 GMAT percentile distribution would be multiplied by 0.8 and its 0-100 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.

If a school's combined percentages of its fall 2023 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 0-100 percentile distribution used in the rankings was multiplied by 20/25 or 0.8. Scores needed to be reported on at least five new entrants 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 2022 entering class values as a substitute. Otherwise, they received an assigned value for this indicator equaling the lowest score among schools that reported 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 via a U.S. News Business School Compass subscription.

  • Average undergraduate GPA (10%): This is the 50th percentile undergraduate GPA of students entering the full-time program in fall 2023. 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 2022 data was used.
  • Acceptance rate (2%): This is the percentage of applicants to the full-time program in fall 2023 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.

Schools provided the data listed on their profile pages. If a data point is listed as "N/A," the school did not provide it.

Unranked Schools

To receive a numeric rank or ranking range in the Best Business Schools ranking, a program needed to deliver some campus-based instruction at reoccurring intervals (e.g. not purely an online MBA), provide U.S. News with enough statistical data for each placement indicator in the rankings and report that at least 50% of its 2023 graduating class were seeking employment. Additionally, 20 members of the 2022 and 2023 graduating classes, including 10 in the most recent class, needed to be seeking employment for a school to be rank eligible.

If a school is listed as unranked, U.S. News did not calculate a rank for it in the Best Business Schools ranking. Programs marked as unranked are listed alphabetically below those marked with a ranking range.

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 award credit toward schools' broader MBA program degrees. In other words, the Best Business Schools rankings do not assess fully specialized master's in business programs such as a master's degree in accounting or project management. The ranked MBA 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.

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 2024 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 2023 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

All 506 schools 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 directory 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.
