Overview

The Wall Street Journal takes a very narrow approach in their MBA Rankings - they focus solely on how recruiters view MBA programs.

Methodology

When looking at recruiter views of business schools, the Wall Street Journal rankings focus on three areas: Perception, Supportive Behaviors, and Mass Appeal. Supportive Behaviors include extending job offers to a school's students.
