US-based programs dominated The Economist’s recently released 2022 full-time MBA program rankings. Harvard, UPenn Wharton, Northwestern Kellogg, Columbia, and MIT Sloan made the top five and just two of the top 15 ranked programs are located outside of the U.S. (HEC Paris and SDA Bocconi).
With many programs opting not to participate last year due to the covid-19 pandemic, this year’s rankings showed significant movement.
HEC Paris moved down five spots to the seventh rank
Michigan Ross dropped seven spots to the 10th rank
SDA Bocconi School of Management dropped seven spots to the 13th rank
NYU Stern dropped 11 spots to the 15th rank
