Olin Business School’s full-time MBA program moved up five spots to #26 in the biennial Bloomberg Businessweek rankings published November 11, 2014.
High scores on two important measures propelled Olin’s advancement in the Bloomberg Businessweek survey. Olin earned top marks from company recruiters who rate their MBA hires and on the volume of faculty research published in esteemed journals.
Based on an analysis of employment metrics for the top 30 ranked schools in the survey, Olin remains in the top five for employment post 90 days of graduation and in the top 15 at graduation.
- 97% of Olin MBAs had job offers 90 days post-graduation, ranking Olin in fourth place in that category and tied with Columbia Business School
- Olin is in 11th place for job offers at graduation with 86% of MBA students receiving job offers
The Intellectual Capital ranking reflects the research produced at Olin, which demonstrates the strength of the faculty and the extent to which they are creating knowledge in business.
Bloomberg Businessweek changed its methodology this year and its employer survey from the last ranking cycle “to better reflect the breadth of the recruiting landscape and to collect more data on how well MBAs do in the workplace. Some 1,300 recruiters were surveyed, up from 206 in 2012, and they were asked to rate schools on how well their graduates performed in the areas most important to employers.”
