Ranking of Top Business Schools includes around a hundred ranking and non-ranking indicators. Non-ranking indicators are displayed simply for information purposes, they are therefore not taken into account in the general ranking. Although the methodologies for both rankings and the numbers of indicators differ, both rankings consider indicators grouped in a few similar areas:
Ranking of Top Business Schools additionally considers satisfaction of graduates (including e.g. general satisfaction, satisfaction with supervision, satisfaction with premises, satisfaction with the alumni network, satisfaction with community life, satisfaction with preparation for professional life, etc.). In addition to viewing the overall ranking, users can compare up to three schools with each other by checking the corresponding boxes. It is then up to them to compare the data from the three schools for each criterion. A user can also create his/her own ranking by picking from around forty indicators. For each of them, the schools are ranked in five descending groups (from 5 to 1), according to their relative value. Colors make it possible to better visually locate the establishments (dark green for 5 and 4 points, light green for 3 and 2 points, yellow for 1 point). The methodology of Ranking of Master’s Degree takes into account the students who have passed their master’s degree in two years, without having repeated a year. |
