Earlier this week, the Financial Times<\/em> released its 2016 Global MBA Rankings<\/a>, and for the first time since the ranking\u2019s launch in 1999, a business school with a strong Asian presence\u2014INSEAD<\/strong>\u2014takes the top spot, rising from fifth place in 2015.<\/p>\n

\"INSEAD<\/p>\n

INSEAD, the international business school with campuses in Singapore, Abhu Dahbi, and Fontainebleau, France, also makes history in this particular ranking as it is the first time FT<\/em> has crowned a one-year MBA program. INSEAD was the first business school in the world to offer a one-year MBA program beginning in 1959.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the cost of studying for an MBA has steadily risen, many students are wary of taking on the debt associated with two-year degrees \u2014 students are frequently more than $100,000 in debt when they graduate. Though fees and living costs can be substantial, it is often the opportunity cost of lost salary that is the biggest factor,\u201d write FT\u2019<\/em>s Della Bradshaw<\/strong> and Laurent Ortmans<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s ranking shows a bit more movement than we saw last year, when FT<\/em> deemed Harvard Business School<\/strong> the top MBA program for the third time in a row. U.S. MBA programs continue to dominate the top ten with seven schools, but this year, Spain\u2019s IESE Business School slipped to 16th place, down from seventh place. Meanwhile, Cambridge Judge Business School comes in at number 10 this year, up from 13th in 2015.<\/p>\n

    One interesting development to come out of these latest rankings is the increase in the numbers of women pursuing the MBA. \u201cIn 2015, 35 per cent of MBA students were women, up from 30 per cent in 2005. Last year, the proportion of female students topped 40 per cent in 27 schools, a leap from just four schools 10 years ago,\u201d Ortmans reports.<\/p>\n

    The Financial Times<\/em> ranking methodology involves assessing MBA programs according to the career progression of alumni, the school\u2019s idea generation, and the diversity of students and faculty. FT<\/em> data from the past three years is used for alumni-informed criteria.<\/p>\n
