Business school rankings and MBA rankings from the Financial Times

Financial Times FT.com

Table notesAlthough the headline ranking figures show changes in the data year to year, the pattern of clustering among the schools is equally significant. Some 340 points separate the top school, Duke Corporate Education, from the school ranked number 65. The top eight business schools, from Duke CE to the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, form the top group of custom providers. The second group is jointly headed by Iese Business School and Thunderbird School of Global Management and the third by the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management. The top and bottom schools in the second group are separated by 59 points; in the third group there is a 144 point gap between top and bottom.
