“What students want from a business school are the classes, professors and networks that help lead to a career that they will find gratifying,” said Jones School Dean Peter Rodriguez. “This top ranking reflects our commitment to students, the excellent work of our faculty and staff and the support of our stakeholders here in Houston and across the country.”

The rankings include 85 schools. To create the ranking, Bloomberg Businessweek surveyed recruiters and the programs’ alumni and students. It also looked at graduates’ success in finding jobs with high starting salaries. Each university was given an overall score out of 100, taking into consideration an employer survey rank (counting for 35 percent of the overall score), alumni survey rank (counting for 30 percent), student survey rank (15 percent), salary rank (10 percent) and job-placement rank (10 percent).
