Two major MBA rankings were released this week.
QS Global MBA Rankings 2027 were released on September 16, while Bloomberg Businessweek's 2026-27 Best Business Schools rankings were released on September 15.
One important distinction before comparing them:
• QS ranks MBA programs globally.
• Bloomberg publishes separate rankings by region.
So, below is the QS Global Top 25 alongside the Bloomberg U.S. Top 25.
Note: Bloomberg has ties at #9, #12, and #23, so ranks #10, #13, and #24 are skipped.
A few differences that immediately stand out
• MIT Sloan is #1 globally in QS but tied for #9 in Bloomberg's U.S. ranking.
• Stanford is #3 in QS and #1 in Bloomberg.
• Kellogg is #13 in QS but #4 in Bloomberg.
• Darden sits at #5 in Bloomberg but falls outside the QS Global Top 25.
• Cornell Johnson is tied for #9 in Bloomberg but sits outside the QS Global Top 25 at #33.
• Ross is #22 in QS and tied for #12 in Bloomberg.
• Fuqua is #25 in QS and #18 in Bloomberg.
The contrast is a useful reminder that rankings can look very different depending on methodology and geographic scope.
Bloomberg's U.S. methodology currently weights:
• Compensation: 40.6%
• Learning: 26.6%
• Networking: 21.3%
• Entrepreneurship: 11.4%
QS uses a different methodology, considering factors including employability, entrepreneurship and alumni outcomes, return on investment, thought leadership, and diversity.
