Table notesFootnote: Although the headline ranking figures show changes in the data year to year, the pattern of clustering among the schools is equally significant. Some 270 points separate Kellogg / Hong Kong UST Business School at the top, from the school ranked number 100. The first nine business schools, from Kellogg / Hong Kong UST Business School to Duke University: Fuqua, form the top group of schools. The second group is headed by the Chinese University of Hong Kong, which would need to increase its score by 9 points in order to move up a group. Top of the third group is the Rice University: Jones which is 6 points behind Boston University School of Management. Some 45 points separate the top and bottom schools in this third group. The fourth group is more spread out, separated by 70 points.

Footnotes

1. The average alumni salary three years after graduation. (The 2010 EMBA ranking is based on data for alumni graduating in 2007). This figure includes alumni salary data for the current year and the one or two preceding years, where available.

2. The percentage increase in average alumni salary from before the EMBA to today as a percentage of the pre-EMBA salary. This figure includes data for the current year and the one or two preceding years, where available.

3. This is calculated according to changes in the level of seniority and the size of the company alumni are working in now versus before their EMBA. Data for the current year and the one or two preceding years are included where available.

4. This measures the previous experience of EMBA participants by examining seniority of positions held, number of years in each position, size of company, and any international work experience prior to starting the EMBA.

5. The extent to which alumni fulfilled their most important goals or reasons for doing an EMBA.

6. The percentage of female faculty

7. The percentage of female students

8. The percentage of female members of the advisory board

9. The percentage of faculty whose citizenship differs from their country of employment

The second is the percentage of participants who are resident outside the country in which the business school is situated.

11. The percentage of the board whose citizenship differs from the country in which the business school is based

12. International course experience: The percentage of classroom teaching hours that are carried out outside the country in which the business school is situated. The data is presented as a rank and the top position is one.

13. Number of languages students are required to speak on graduation.

14. The percentage of faculty with a doctoral degree

15. This is calculated according to the number of doctoral graduates from each business school during the past three years. Additional points are given if these doctoral graduates took up faculty positions at one of the top 50 full-time MBA schools of 2010.
