The Economist’s 2015 Big MBA Rankings’ Winners & Losers

The European School of Management and Technology in Berlin plunged 23 places, the biggest drop of any school in the 2015 ranking

BIGGEST DROP SUFFERED BY BERLIN’S EUROPEAN SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT & TECHNOLOGY

And then there are the losers, the schools whose MBA programs lose ground. Top in that category this year was Germany’s European School of Management and Technology which plunged 23 places to rank 49th. The school had a lofty perch a year earlier when it finished 26th best in the world. The University of Bath’s business school also took it on the chin, dropping 19 spots to 64th, from 43rd last year (see below).

Finally, there are the schools that just disappear. Two of the MBA programs that simply failed to make this year’s list no longer have full-time MBA programs: Wake Forest University, which had been 68th, and the Thunderbird School of Global Management, which had been 92 (see below). But other schools just slip off the list because their earlier rankings were near the bottom of the Top 100 list published by The Economist (see below).
