About the Award
GraduatePrograms.com’s Online Business Graduate Rankings are based solely on ratings and reviews from current and recent graduate students. Each school’s graduate programs are rated on a scale of 1 to 10 stars (1 being the worst, 10 being the best). Students provide ratings on 15 categories, such as academic competitiveness, career support, financial aid and quality of network.
Rankings are determined by calculating the average score for each program based on the 15 ranking categories. Program scores are then compared across all ranked schools to develop a final ranking for that graduate program. A given graduate program is not ranked until a minimum threshold of graduate student surveys is completed. Learn more about the rankings criteria at http://www.graduateprograms.com.
