Methodology

Poets&Quants based its fifth annual online MBA ranking on three core dimensions:

1) Quality of the incoming students;

2) Graduates' assessment of the MBA experience, both academic and extracurricular activities; and

3) Career outcomes of a program's graduates.

Data for the ranking was gathered from both school and alumni surveys. The school survey asked for a wide variety of data points, including admission standards. The alumni survey sought recent graduates' impressions on a range of topics, as well as whether the program fulfilled their expectations and whether they would recommend it to others.

This year Poets&Quants surveyed students graduating between July 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021. In all, 6,824 alumni were surveyed and 1,229 responded, for an average response rate of 18%. Read more about the methodology here.
