Forbes Best Business Schools, August 16th, 2007
Top Non-U.S. 1-Year Business Schools
- IMD
- INSEAD
- Cambridge (Judge)
- Instituto de Empresa....(IE Business School)
Our fifth biennial ranking of business schools highlights the appeal of one-year programs. Our survey ranks schools based on return on investment--meaning compensation five years after graduation minus tuition and the forgone salary during school. Each of the top five one-year foreign programs beat out all two-year programs because the opportunity cost, in lost wages, to attend is materially less. IMD in Switzerland, which ranked first among such one-year schools, had a median five-year gain of $169,000. By comparison, Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business, which tops the list of two-year programs for the second time, had a median five-year gain of $115,000.








Failed to mention IESE has the first position on 2 year non-US MBA! :) It's good that we have two top schools in the country.
As all rankings, reader beware. Very different methodologies among them, and it seems to me this one is quite limited in what it tests: this only measures ROI so many schools that show in the list are quite different from other rankings or fairly 'unknown' schools.
