Overview

It is uncertain whether Forbes is continuing to produce MBA rankings. 2003 was the last year Forbes produced any rankings.

Methodology

The Forbes survey measures the return on investment of a business school education. When looking at return on investment, Forbes tries to determine how much a student's financial gain during the five years after graduating from a business school given the expense of attending school as well as the opportunity cost of a foregone salary.
