P&Q’s 2023 Ranking of U.S. Executive MBAs, 1-33 |
||||||
| Methodology: Ranks shown for The Financial Times is the program’s U.S. ranks, not the global ranking. The top school in each separate ranking was awarded 100 points, while second place awarded a school 99 points, and so on. We then calculated a weighted average of the three scores with U.S. News and FT weighing 40% and Fortune weighing 20%. That total then was put into an index score to rank the programs. | ||||||
