Among the surprises:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hong Kong UST vaulted to #6 from #16 two years ago and is ranked ahead of MIT Sloan, Columbia, Booth, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accepted.com\/mba\/NorthwesternKellogg.aspx\">Kellogg<\/a>, and Tuck.<\/li>\n<li>Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIMA), grabbed #11 \u2013 even though it wasn\u2019t ranked previously by FT.<\/li>\n<li>US leaders like Kellogg (#21) and Chicago (#12) and many other prominent US schools did not fare well, and tend not to do well in the FT global rankings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A bit on the FT methodology: To be ranked, business schools need to be accredited, to have been open for at least four years, and must have at least 30 students in each class. 156 business schools fit this description this year and participated in the school survey provided. The data for rankings is collected from alumni and from the schools themselves.<\/p>\n<p>To determine the top 100 schools, the following three areas are analyzed: diversity and international reach, alumni salaries and career development, and research capabilities. These three categories are then further broken down into 20 specific criteria that are further analyzed to determine the rankings.<\/p>\n<p>For a more detailed description of the methodology, see \"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/cms\/s\/2\/5f2fb300-05c8-11df-88ee-00144feabdc0.html#axzz1CabFdR3T\" target=\"_blank\">Getting to grips with the method<\/a>.\"<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\" https:\/\/www.accepted.com\/MBA\/Default.aspx?utm_campaign=MBAContent&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_source=BlogVisitors&amp;utm_content=MBAIcon\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"full-image-block ssNonEditable\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/profile.ak.fbcdn.net\/object3\/947\/54\/s8255073883_9880.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1260090948492\" alt=\"\" \/><\/span><\/span>Accepted.com<\/a> ~ Helping You Write Your Best<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/info.accepted.com\/mba-rankings-report\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"full-image-block ssNonEditable\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/storage\/cta-buttons\/Rankings2.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1296456226333\" alt=\"\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s the moment we&#8217;ve all been waiting for\u2014the Financial Times published its 2011 ranking of global MBA programs!
