Wharton Tops P&Q’s 2024 Executive MBA Ranking

P&Q’s 2024 Ranking of U.S. Executive MBAs, 1-33

Methodology: We used the 2024 rankings from U.S. News & World Report, Financial Times, and Fortune | Education to calculate our 2024 composite. Ranks shown for The Financial Times is the program’s U.S. rank, 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.
