Kellogg School of Management’s full-time MBA ranked first in Poets&Quants 2024-2025 MBA ranking

The Definitive List Of The Top 100 U.S. MBA Programs of 2024-2025 — 1 to 25

The annual Poets&Quants’ MBA ranking takes five of the most credible lists from U.S. News, The Financial Times, Bloomberg Businessweek, LinkedIn and the Princeton Review and combines them together using weights based on the soundness of each publication’s methodology. Bringing them together this way diminishes the anomalies that often crop up in a given year and also gives applicants a better sense of an overall school’s reputation and brand value. This year’s 2023-2024 list gives a 35% weight to the U.S. News ranking, a 30% weight to The Financial Times, a 15% weight to Bloomberg Businessweek, and 10% each to LinkedIn and Princeton Review.
