One thing they REALLY need to start taking into account on all these rankings is where a school’s grads overwhelmingly go.
If they’re largely going to places like NYC or San Francisco/Silicon Valley and another school’s grads are largely going to America, then their salary numbers don’t look nearly as flattering. $155,000 in NYC is not $155,000 in say, Atlanta. Not even close. In fact, somebody earning $100,000 in most of America is far wealthier and has a much higher standard of living than somebody making $155,000 in New York.....or New Jersey.....or Boston.....or LA.....or San Francisco.
Very good point.
Also the article made no mention of accreditation. AACSB is the gold standard for business schools. For prospective students, its important to be aware of that. The point being, if you cannot attend one of these top schools you can still get a quality business education from an AACSB accredited school.
