Specialized Master’s At The Top 50 B-Schools by: Ethan Baron on December 04, 2015 | | 27,401 Views December 4, 2015 Copy Link Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Email Share on LinkedIn Share on WhatsApp Share on Reddit MIT Sloan School of Management – Ethan Baron photo EveryoneĀ interested in a specialized master’s program at a U.S. business school runs into the same problem: the degrees have taken off so fast thatĀ information about them has not been consolidated into anything resembling the clearinghouses available for research into MBA programs. Sorting out which U.S. B-school masterās programs are the best choices for a particular student can be difficult. No reliable rankings exist.Ā U.S. News & World Reportās rankings of specialty masterās programs are shallow and subjective, based only on survey responsesĀ from business school deans and directors of accredited masterās programs. TheĀ Financial TimesĀ rankings of finance and management masterās programs focus mainly on European schools. AndĀ lest you stumble upon the host of specialized-masterās rankings at āTFE Timesā and think they mustĀ be heaven sent, note the websiteās other content,Ā such asĀ āSaving Your Pet With CPR,ā āWhat If You Made Alien Contact?ā and ā222 Powerful Actions (sic) Verbs to Use in Resume.ā (That type of distracting content, however, did not deter the Michigan State Broad College of Business from hyping, on its website, its No. 7 ranking from TFE for its business analytics program. Indeed, the Syracuse University Whitman School hadĀ its master of finance program director in October publicly saluteĀ his programās No. 33 TFE ranking, and the University of Rochester Simon School lists its four spots in the TFE ranking among its placements alongside itsĀ rankings inĀ U.S. News,Ā Bloomberg BusinessWeek, and theĀ Financial Times.) To fill that gap, Poets&Quants has compiled importantĀ data for specialty master’s programs at the top 50 business schools in America. For the top 25 schools, we list all programs, the years they were started, their durations, and total program tuition. For schools 26 through 50, we list all programs. In the near future,Ā Poets&QuantsĀ will publishĀ aĀ comprehensive list of specialized master’s programs at the top 100 schools, including durations and tuition.
