U.S. News & World Report next week will publish its annual ranking of MBA programs, but to whet people’s appetites, it today offered a sneak peek of the schools that secured spots in the top 10. The following schools, listed alphabetically, made the cut:
Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business
MIT’s Sloan School of Management
Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management
Stanford Graduate School of Business
University of California—Berkeley Haas School of Business
University of Chicago Booth School of Business
University of Pennsylvania Wharton School
The only major shift is Yale SOM’s ascension into the top 10, from its number 13 spot last year. The University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business, ranked 10th last year, has fallen out of the top 10 as a result.
We’ll dive into the complete rankings when they are released next Wednesday, March 16th. But as always, we encourage prospective applicants to use rankings as just one of many data points when trying to determine the best business school to fit your individual needs and goals.
