In 2010, of the 25  top international business schools, 11 are from the U.S., 11 are  European, and three are Asian business schools.<\/li>\n<li>The return on investment for b-schools in the U.S. has dropped in  the last few years. Between the years 2000 and 2003, rankings revealed  that alumni from 20 of the top 25 b-schools received, on average, at  least a 150% salary increase over a five-year period. Today, U.S.  b-school alumni cannot report a salary increase of more than 131%, and  on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accepted.com\/mba\/YaleSOM.aspx\">Yale SOM <\/a>alumni  can even claim that much. One reason for this is that average salaries  upon entering business school have risen, but salaries reported three  years after graduation have either remained stable, or declined.<\/li>\n<li>With an increase in school fees (and subsequent debt) in the U.S.,  further affecting the return on investment. This offers yet another  reason why top U.S. MBA programs are slipping in the FT rankings.<\/li>\n<li>U.S. schools, once the forerunners in the international research and  education community, have done little in recent years to pierce the  growing European and Asian research communities, which have now  surpassed American b-schools when it comes to providing an international  experience. Only a very few b-schools in the U.S. report having more  than 50% of their students from outside the U.S. (Thunderbird School of  Global Management) or more than 50% of faculty from the international  community (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.accepted.com\/mba\/Columbia.aspx\">Columbia<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>(Source: \"<a href=\"https:\/\/discussions.ft.com\/bused\/forums\/soapboxforum\/us-schools-see-their-power-begin-to-wane-2?posted=true\" target=\"_blank\">US schools see their power begin to wane<\/a>,\" from FT.com)<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Does an international MBA pique your interest?
