Where the Schools Rank
Results for the three categories of business schools in The Wall Street Journal/Harris Interactive annual survey of corporate recruiters
NATIONAL RANKING
This ranking is based on how recruiters rated each school on 21 attributes,
their future plans to recruit at the school, and the number of survey
respondents who said they had recruited recently at the school. These schools
enjoy a national reputation and tend to draw recruiters from many of the
same companies, usually large national and multinational firms that pay high
starting salaries.
