TEXT VERSION:
Harvard Business School has reclaimed top spot in this year’s Global MBA Rankings released by the Financial Times.
The school leapfrogged Stanford to take first place for the sixth time in the FT’s Global MBA Rankings 21-year history.
Stanford dropped to third place, while Wharton moved into second.
HEC Paris was one of this year’s biggest climbers, moving into ninth place from nineteenth last year. This caps off a great year for the French school, who topped the executive MBA and European business school rankings.
The STEM trend continues as two top US schools, NYU Stern and Michigan Ross, announce STEM designations on their MBA programs.
NYU Stern’s full-time MBA joins its Technology and Entrepreneurship MBA as the second STEM program at the school.
At Michigan Ross, this means the introduction of a STEM track, with modules on fintech, marketing analytics, and big data.
Gaining a STEM designation is good news for Ross and Stern international students, who are given a two year extension on their one year optional practical training.
