The Latest in Rankings News

While I don’t like to encourage clients to focus too heavily on rankings when they’re making their MBA program selections, I know those headed for b-school really can’t help themselves.

With that in mind, check out U.S. News‘s 2013 Best Graduate Schools Rankings, released today, and the Financial Times‘ seventh annual listing of the world’s top online MBA programs, also announced this week.

I’m pleased to see that my alma mater, Kellogg School of Management, has taken the number-one spot for part-time MBA programs, and is tied for fourth place in the full-time MBA rankings.
