For only the next amount of time in 23 years, the Financial Times named Stanford Graduate School of Business the best MBA experience in the world. The larger news in this year’s ranking, however, is the disappearance of a major European player: IE Business School. Year Ranked eighth last, IE didn’t make the Financial Times rank for the first time because the newspapers could not collect a representative sample of the school’s alumni (see Why IE Business School Lost Its FT Ranking). For the very first time Also, CEIBS (China Europe International Business School) located in Shanghai cracked the top ten, getting into an eighth-place finish, up from 11th last year.
Rounding out the 2018 top ten were No. 3 Wharton, No. 4 London Business School, which increased two places from sixth, and No. 5 Harvard Business School, which slipped one place from fourth last year. This was a particularly volatile year for the FT ranking. Besides IE Business School, some 13 schools entirely dropped off the list. Another 14 became new entrants, and 23 schools that remained in the top 100 experienced double-digit increases or falls.
U.S. colleges made something of a return, with seven in the very best ten, year up from five last, and with some notable advances by key players. Cornell University’s Johnson Graduate School Business jumped 10 areas to rank 17th from 27th a calendar year previously. The volatility in the FT ranking-which diminishes the credibility of the list because there are few year-over-year changes at schools to warrant big changes-means that there were plenty of big winners and big losers this season. While there is nothing worse than dropping completely off the FT list, the full-time MBA programs at several academic institutions experienced dramatic drops in rank.
Lancaster Business School in Britain plunged 28 spots to rank 70th this year, from 42nd in 2017. University College Dublin’s Smurfit Graduate Business School lost 24 places to finish up at 94th, year previously from 70th a. Alternatively, champagne corks will likely be popped today at Rice University’s Jones Graduate School of Business which climbed 19 places to rank 45th in the world, yr ago from 64th a.

The Financial Times global rating is the most closely followed in Europe and Asia, while U.S. News You entirely.S.-centric rank is just about the most important in the U.S. The FT’s strategy is based on 20 different metrics, including several that tend to prefer non-U.S. Often, a much greater impact on a school’s rank can be the consequence of the FT’s decision to use a purchasing power parity (PPP) formulation to convert and rely real salary data-the most greatly weighted metric in the technique. Such money gymnastics favor academic institutions supplying graduates to countries with high rates of poverty.
With the PPP modification, for example, it’s possible that CEIBS would not have completed in the top ten. This adjustment has a negative impact on all U especially.S.

Although 34% of the year’s graduating class at Harvard Business School were international, for example, only 13% of the class took jobs abroad that percentage includes some U.S.
