\"Financial<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Financial Times<\/em><\/a> has released its global rankings of the best MBA programs and has considerably shuffled the deck. Several top-ranked programs fell several notches, while others rose considerably. For the first time since 2011, Wharton has returned to its status as #1 in FT<\/em>\u2019s list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other programs that made giant strides in the rankings include Columbia Business School (ranked 8th in 2020), and Kellogg (Northwestern)<\/a>, now #5 (11th place in 2020). One reason for such huge fluctuations was that five of the top U.S. programs (Harvard<\/a>, Stanford<\/a>, Wharton<\/a>, MIT<\/a>, and Columbia<\/a>) were not listed at all last year at all, skewing that year\u2019s results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other highly rated programs that suffered serious tumbles in the rankings include London Business School<\/a>, Tuck (Dartmouth)<\/a>, and UVA Darden<\/a>. In fact, 69 of the 91 schools ranked fell in the rankings, many of them by double digits.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared with last year, many of these schools\u2019 rankings looked like riders on a roller coaster, with some plunging far below and others rising by as much as 20 points to unprecedented heights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we have cautioned before, it\u2019s vital to keep these rankings in perspective<\/a>. They are based on many variables that have little or nothing to do with the quality of the curricula per se.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
