Poets&Quant's 2024-2025 MBA Ranking: For The First Time Ever, Kellogg Takes First

Rice Business students saw their full-time MBA program drop eight places this year after ranking declines from U.S. News, the Financial Times, Bloomberg Businessweek, and Princeton Review.

The Definitive List Of The Top 100 U.S. MBA Programs of 2024-2025 — 26 to 50

This second group of schools is the next-best bunch of full-time MBA programs in the United States. These schools tend to have higher admit rates and are easier to get into than the top 25 schools. Yet, most of them offer as good if not a better MBA experience for students and tend to get overlooked and underappreciated. Several of the programs near the top of the list, moreover, have been able to land on the top 25 in years past, with Indiana Kelley and Georgia Tech.
