The Economist<\/em> recently announced its 2012 full-time MBA rankings<\/a>, and the Chicago Booth School of Business<\/strong> came out way ahead in one area the MBA students polled believe is most important:\u00a0 Booth is a program that opens an array of new career opportunities.<\/p>\n

Despite Booth's reputation for finance and \"super quants\", The Economist<\/em> found it to be a well-rounded MBA program, with graduates gushing about finding employment in the widest range of industries, and students believing the Chicago Booth career services were top-notch.<\/p>\n

Last year's first-place winner, Dartmouth College's Tuck School of Business<\/strong>, slipped into second-position in 2012, and Darden School of Business<\/strong> crept up a notch to third place this time around. Some schools made big moves in this latest round of rankings, with Cornell's Johnson School<\/strong> jumping ten spots to come in 15th, and Switzerland's IMD<\/strong> dropping into 10th place after coming in third in 2011.<\/p>\n

The Economist Top Ten Full-Time MBA Programs<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Chicago Booth School of Business<\/li>\n
  2. Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth<\/li>\n
  3. Darden School of Business<\/li>\n
  4. Harvard Business School<\/li>\n
  5. Columbia Business School<\/li>\n
  6. UC Berkeley Haas School of Business<\/li>\n
  7. MIT Sloan School of Management<\/li>\n
  8. Stanford Graduate School of Business<\/li>\n
  9. IESE Business School<\/li>\n
  10. IMD<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Looking at an initial selection of 135 leading business schools around the world, the ranking criteria The Economist<\/em> uses is based on how well the program opens new career opportunities (35%), one's personal development\/education experience (35%), increase in salary (20%), and the potential to network (10%).<\/p>\n

    Data were collected during spring 2012 using two web-based questionnaires, one for business schools and one for students and recent graduates. A total of 15,550 students and graduates participated.<\/p>\n
