Forbes magazine has ranked the Moore School of Business 54th overall and 25th among all ranked public schools in terms of return on investment for graduates of two-year MBA programs in the United States. The rankings are featured in the magazine’s “Best Business Schools” issue published Aug. 16.
"Return on investment" means how much graduates are paid five years after graduation – minus tuition and foregone salary during school. It took Moore students from the Class of 2002 a median of 4.5 years to break even.
Surveys were sent to 18,500 alumni of 102 MBA programs around the world; the magazine heard back from 22 percent of them. For U.S. rankings, only two-year programs were eligible.
The Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth topped the return-on-investment list, followed by Stanford, Harvard, Virginia (Darden), and Pennsylvania (Wharton.)
