In the world of Bloomberg Businessweek’s rankings of the best business schools, some things don’t seem to change. For the 2024-25 edition, Stanford University once again holds down the top spot among full-time MBA programs at US schools, as it has for the past five years. The Palo Alto-based university maintains strong scores in four of the five areas we index — Compensation, Learning, Networking and Entrepreneurship. Beyond Stanford, the basic shape of the top end of the list has held fairly steady, with a few exceptions.  Booth, Kellog, Tuck and Darden occupies rest of 4 slots respectively.

The US and Canada saw schools experience growth in the number of applications between 2022 and 2023, according to the Graduate Management Admission Council, while in Europe, Asia and the Pacific Islands, programs saw applications drop.

Consulting, Financial, Technology, Healthcare, and Consumer are the top hires for MBAs.
