NEW YORK (September 15, 2022)—Bloomberg Businessweek today released its annual ranking of the best business schools, based on data compiled from 18,504 surveys from students, alumni, and corporate recruiters, as well as compensation and job-placement data from each school. Stanford takes the number one spot, among 82 full-time MBA programs in the US, followed by Harvard, University of Chicago’s Booth, Northwestern’s Kellogg, and Dartmouth’s Tuck rounding out the top five.
Below are Bloomberg Businessweek’s 2022-23 top 10 MBA programs in the US:

In the US, schools are ranked on five component indexes: compensation, diversity, networking, learning, and entrepreneurship. International MBA programs are measured on four: compensation, networking, learning, and entrepreneurship.
