U.S. News & World Report released its graduate school rankings this week and all three of Olin’s MBA programs moved up to secure spots in the top 25.
Here’s how this year’s numbers compare to last year’s ranking:
Program 2014 2013
MBA 21 22
PMBA 16 21
EMBA 14 19
Methodology for computing the rankings differs for each type of program. The full-time MBA ranking is based on the broadest database while Executive MBA and PMBA are primarily based on surveys of business school deans and directors.
The full-time MBA ranking is weighted in the following manner:
Peer Assessment 25.00%
Mean GMAT Score 16.25%
Recruiter Assessment 15.00%
Employment Rates 3 Months after Graduation 14.00%
Mean Starting Salary and Bonus 14.00%
Mean Undergraduate GPA 7.50%
Employment Rates at Graduation 7.00%
Acceptance Rate 1.25%
Limited rankings information is available on the U.S. News website; complete rankings are available for purchase on the site.
I see that BusinessWeek just ranked Olin’s undergraduate BSBA program #4 in the nation. That is an impressive achievement!
Thank you for that information!
I see that Olin was ranked among the best schools for studying finance in the USNEWS 2014 Graduate School Rankings. Do you know what Olin’s rank was? I would be grateful if you could share that information with me/us.
U.S. News keeps many details of its rankings behind a paywall. But we’ve got access and happy to share the stats with you.
Olin is tied with Gonzaga University, Loyola Marymount University -Los Angeles, and Vanderbilt University (Owen) at #30 just behind Yale, Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison, Indiana Univ. and Cornell in the best schools for Finance. Wharton, Chicago-Booth and NYU take the top 3 spots.
