Top US Business Schools Premier Ranked Management Institutes
and B-Schools
The
purpose of ranking educational institutions using certain
measures is to assist students and their parents to compare
the relative qualities of institutions and to choose form
them. There are several such rankings undertaken annually
by popular news magazines, whose ranking have received both
admiration and flak are: US news and world Report, MacLean's
(Canada) and Times Higher Education Supplement (UK). Asiaweek,
a weekly newsmagazine published from Hong Kong has for the
first time ranked Asian business schools.
The US news now regularly compiles two ranking lists: 1. America's
Best Graduate Schools, 2. America's Best Colleges. Best graduate
schools in five major disciplines, viz., Business, Law, Medicine,
Education and Engineering, are ranked annually and published
in the magazine generally in March. Rankings are based on
one subjective measure, "reputation", and several objective
measures, such as test score and faculty resources.
The input measures include 1. Standardised entrance examination
scores (e.g., GMAT, GRE) and "undergraduate grade point average"
which indicates how selective and rigorous a school programme
is and 2. per student expenditure on institutions, libraries
and student support services and the quantum of faculty research.
Besides ranking the overall programmes, the US news also identifies
the most outstanding ones in some of the larger specialties
within each discipline on the basis of responses of academic
experts. Graduate Schools in 29 disciplines, other than the
five major ones mentioned earlier, are also ranked only by
reputation, generally every three years.
