About the LinkedIn Top MBA Programs

LinkedIn Top MBA Programs is an annual list that helps professionals and career builders identify the top business schools that help them advance their careers. The ranking is determined by a carefully weighted methodology that analyses the career outcomes of millions of MBA alumni across the globe.

The 5 key pillars of the ranking are:

1. Hiring and demand: tracking job placement rates and labor market demand;
2. Ability to advance: measuring promotion rates and how quickly alumni reach director or VP-level leadership roles;
3. Network strength: measuring network depth, or how connected alumni of the same program are to each other;
4. Leadership potential: tracking the percentage of alumni with post-MBA executive level management or entrepreneurship experiences;
5. Diversity: measuring gender parity within recent graduate cohorts.
