In the Poets & Quants<\/em> article<\/a> that covers the rankings<\/a>, John Byrne focuses on the standalone programs, and about how Washington Olin beats out all other standalones including Wharton.<\/p>\n

Byrne also mentions that the reason why the top five programs on the list are joint programs is due to the FT<\/em>\u2019s ranking methodology, which, he explains, \u201cheavily weights and then \u2018adjusts; the salaries of survey alumni in ways that distort compensation. The adjustment to \u2018purchasing power parity\u2019 tends to favor programs that enroll a larger percentage of sponsored students from emerging economies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Byrne also notes that five out of the seven schools that took double digit falls were U.S. EMBA programs. Some details:<\/p>\n

\u2022 The biggest loser this year was U. of Texas-Dallas EMBA which dropped 21 spots from 66th last year to 87th this year.
\n\u2022 Minnesota Carlson EMBA fell 17 spots from 80th in 2012 to 97th this year.
\n\u2022 Rochester Simon fell 16 places from 80th to 96th.
\n\u2022 Boston University SOM dropped 15 spots from 66th last year to 81st this year.<\/p>\n

Of the schools that gained in double digits, only one was from the U.S. \u2013 Georgia State\u2019s EMBA, which jumped 12 spots from 63rd to 51st.<\/p>\n

What accounts for these large leaps and falls this year? Byrne quotes the FT<\/em> which says that there were \u201cminor changes to the calculation of international diversity measures for 2013. In addition to the percentage of schools\u2019 students and faculty that are international \u2013 the figures published \u2013 the composition of these groups by individual citizenship informs a diversity-measuring score that feeds into the calculation.\u201d<\/p>\n
