The media rankings (e.g.
Financial Times, The Economist, etc.) are only one measure of business school reputation. For example, other important attributes are the quality of faculty, students and alumni. The media rankings use different criteria to evaluate a programme or school, so it’s important to look at what a ranking tries to measure and ask how relevant it is to you. Further, media rankings are not scientific analyses of a school’s reputation but represent one view of quality. That’s why it’s good to look at multiple sources of information when evaluating a business school.
