The Princeton Review just released its rankings of top on-campus MBA programs. They do not show all schools for a “best of” view because the Princeton Review believes each of the 243 schools included provide an excellent academic experience. Rather, their rankings are organized by categories which are designed to provide prospective students with insights and data (gathered from 20,300 student experience surveys of on-campus enrollees of the MBA programs, as well as institutional data collected from an administrator survey) on various aspects of the program’s experience.
You can access the top 10 lists for each of the 18 topic areas here. Below, we highlight three of the Princeton Review’s MBA rankings.
