\"Top<\/p>\n

MBA programs are ranked<\/a> in a variety of ways: by GPA and GMAT\/GRE scores, salaries earned by grads, and other metrics. Pitchbook Data, Inc.<\/em> has devised a ranking that is based on the number of graduates who are entrepreneurs, and how much venture funding they have raised.<\/p>\n

There were multiple criteria that went into these international rankings. However, there is still some skewing of trends. This is due to the fact that some programs have a reputation that will entice the types of people who go on to become entrepreneurs. Shifts in rankings are also noted. This makes it easier to see how a particular school has moved up or down over the years. The data for this report was collected from the beginning of 2006 through June 30, 2018.<\/p>\n
