While the Financial Times 2005 MBA rankings aren’t due out until this Monday, the listing was available for a brief time period on the publication’s web site yesterday. We’re not sure if this was inadvertent or purposeful – but the rankings are no longer visible today. Luckily, a post in the Business Week discussion forums listed the full rankings before the FT site pulled them away…
Here’s a partial listing from the new 2005 rankings:
1) Harvard, Wharton (tied)
3) Columbia
4) Stanford
5) London Business School
6) U. of Chicago
7) Dartmouth/Tuck
INSEAD
9) NYU/Stern, Yale SOM (tied)
11) Northwestern/Kellogg
For reference, here are last year’s FT rankings:
1) Wharton
2) Harvard
3) Columbia
4) INSEAD, London Business School, Chicago (3-way tie)
7) Stanford
NYU/Stern
9) MIT/Sloan
10) Dartmouth/Tuck
11) Northwestern/Kellogg
Of note for 2005:
a) Harvard, Wharton and Columbia continue to dominate the top three slots.
b) Stanford jumps from 7th to 4th place.
c) INSEAD falls from 4th to 8th place.
d) While performing exceedingly well in salary and placement rankings, Columbia continues to struggle in the “alumni recommend” rank
e) Michigan/Ross leaps from #30 to #16, Berkeley/Haas climbs from #22 to #13.
f) Cornell falls from #16 to #24
We look forward to the reading the FT on Monday, along with the accompanying articles. Stay tuned…
