Olin scores 37th in 1st Bloomberg global ranking

In Bloomberg Businessweek’s first joint ranking of global MBA programs, WashU Olin placed 37th among the world’s full-time, two-year programs. WashU’s MBA had previously ranked 32nd in the publication’s ranking of US-based programs—up four spots from our 2017 ranking.

The publication’s US ranking was released November 8. Bloomberg Businessweek’s new global ranking—released late St. Louis time on December 10—combined for the first time its previously separate rankings of US and international programs.

In addition to survey results from schools, students, alumni, and corporate recruiters, the publication relied on five new assessment criteria to evaluate the full-time MBA programs: income, learning, networking, diversity, and transformation.

Olin’s strong placement among global programs in compensation—where the school placed 28—helped drive the 37th-place ranking in the overall global list.

Bloomberg will continue to publish its US-only ranking. Here is a rundown of other recent ranking results for WashU Olin Business School.
