Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business<\/strong> takes the top spot in Bloomberg Businessweek's<\/em> 2013 ranking of the best part-time MBA programs<\/a>. With a close-knit cohort of just 194 students in the program, this part-time curriculum is the same as the full-time version but is completed in three years instead of two.<\/p>\n

This is the first time the Tepper School lands the coveted top spot, having finished in third place in the 2011 rankings and seventh in 2009.<\/p>\n

\"Eighty-seven percent of Tepper grads reported a salary increase, the highest percentage of any school in the ranking, and the Pittsburgh-based B-school scored in the top 10 of all three ranking measures,\u201d Businessweek<\/em> reveals.<\/p>\n

Coming in a close second was UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business<\/strong>, which is considerably larger with 800 students in the part-time program. The Haas School ranked fifth in the 2011 survey, and the school notes that surveyed graduates from the class of 2013 gave Haas an A+ for teaching quality, an A+ for caliber of classmates, and an A+ for curriculum.<\/p>\n

  5. Love School of Business (Elon University)<\/li>\n
  6. College of Business Administration (Loyola Marymount University)<\/li>\n
  7. Jones Graduate School of Business (Rice University)<\/li>\n
  8. Chicago Booth School of Business<\/li>\n
  9. Crummer Graduate School of Business (Rollins College)<\/li>\n
  10. Michigan Ross School of Business<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Businessweek<\/em> explains that their biennial part-time ranking, first conducted in 2007, is unique in that it separates schools into six geographic regions, and ranks each separately, since the\u00a0part-time MBA format doesn't lend itself to traveling long distances multiple times a week.<\/p>\n

    The ranking is based on a poll of the graduating class of 2013, which accounts for 40% of the results; an academic quality measure, which accounts for 30%; and post-graduation outcomes, which measure whether the schools were completely responsible for helping students achieve their career goals and account for 30% of the ranking.<\/p>\n
