The University of Chicago’s Booth school ranked first. Tuck, Harvard, Wharton, MIT and Stanford also rate in the top 10. You have to look down to 15th to find the highest-placed Canadian MBA, offered by York University in Ontario.
Size and history give American schools big advantages. Every one of the 245 professors who teach Wharton’s 1,600 MBA students holds a
PhD.
Harvard boasts the best campus in the world, but Columbia, Yale and Kellogg are spending hundreds of millions trying to narrow the gap.
Few other business schools around the world can compete with such spending. Meanwhile, huge endowments, which are often used to subsidize tuition, help them attract the brightest students.
Of the 16 schools at which the average GMAT score is over 700, 14 are American. At Stanford the average is 729 (out of a possible 800).
Chicago, Tuck, Virginia and Columbia all rank in the global top-five schools when it comes to opening new career opportunities.
The highest-paid MBAs in America graduate from Stanford. These can expect an average basic salary of around $130,000.
American schools are also world leaders in costs. Two years at Harvard costs $112,000. And that is by no means the most expensive programme; Columbia, Tuck and Stanford are all costlier. Wharton costs up to $130,000.
