Thank You!! We shall update the ranking tables by Wednesday, 18th March, with US News 16 and Economist 14 rankings.

can you tell me the high ranking us one year mba which do not require undergraduate degree in business?
I doubt there will be any such ranking. You can shortlist the schools first as per standard rankings then contact each school individually to check if they allow students without an undergraduate degree. It will vary from school to school. I believe business schools do accept students without an undergraduate but its very subjective and varies from candidate to candidate. Of course most of these schools will require substantial experience and you to convince why you did not go to university.
it's from unemployed MBA graduate. I may sound bitter but potential students must beware of the ranking system.my MBA school always ranked high in ASEAN region under FT and stated 98% employed within 3 month of graduation. Yes our formal (convocation) is in august, but our courses completion is on december every year. That's 11 months unemployment!! i prefer the economist survey method than FT. FT just took the data the schools provided from school website (or what I was told so) but economist really sent their surveys to the students and alumni. My school decided not to publish the economist rank since 201x because the students and our alumni put a very low ranking during their recent survey. I suggest choose schools that rank consistently across the economist and FT. whichever schools that are high in FT, and low or disappear in the economist are suspects. My careers service focuses on "helping" the employers by profiling the students resume, meaning that you can "dream" on careers switch, but they will only "promote" certain individuals they like to the employers. This is as value add services to the employer (not for the students). Student fees are only to pay for their career "tuition" fee, not to help students to find jobs (really new jargon to me). Still unemployed for 4 months and was told by the career services that they will help to find out why I am so "unsuccessful". cheers (MBA graduate from the best business school in ASEAN).

Thanks painful brother. I hope you find a job soon. But which could be the best Asian business school? I can only think of CEIBS, HKUST, National University of Singapore (NUS) and INSEAD Singapore campus, cant think of any other as the best.

Thanks for the insight. Sorry for your situation Hopefully you'll find a job...
i once asked the career service on why their services doesn't stand on students side instead of standing on employers side. the students pay the students fee anyway and with so many students complaint for the past few years, it is understandable the students give low ranking to the MBA program whenever survey is done. the reply was "the students shouldn't give low ranking on the school on the survey because that will impact their career search". So it's fine for the school not performing but not Ok for students to give honest assessments.
To brainfrog: In this case I can't reveal which school I came from but I hope this help for future students in deciding their school of choice. On the other hand I must say your guess is somewhere there.
I strongly believe that whichever article claimed to rank the school should come forward with their methodologies, not just plucking numbers from the school website and crunch them accordingly. So far I have never received anything surveys except from the economist. I suppose students and alumni should be surveyed to gauge for the fairness. In corporate world, which companies will tell the world that their numbers are bad and appear dysfunctional? you will probably go to their customers to ask for their products qualities and if you will buy again. ok enough sob story, gotta go back to look for job now.
I find the widely variable rankings dizzying, so I tried to quickly simplify them. All I did was average rankings across the 5 sources (for US) and reorder. Not sure if they all "deserve" equal weight. Here it is:
Elite (Average rank between 3 and 5): 1) Stanford 2) Chicago Booth 3) Harvard 4) UPenn Wharton
Near-elite (Average rank between 7 and 12): 5) Columbia 6) NW Kellogg 7) MIT Sloan 8) Dartmouth Tuck 9) UC Haas
Great (Average rank between 12 and 18): 10) Duke Fuqua 11) Yale 12) UM Ross 13) UVA Darden 14) UC Anderson 15) NYU Stern 16) Cornell Johnson
There is a distinct drop off from the top 4 to the #5, then a slow decline from 5 through 16, and then another distinct drop for the rest.
