2023 GLOBAL
MBA RANKINGS
T
he benefits attached to an MBA
are well documented: career
progression, networking
opportunities, personal
development, salary... and the list
goes on. However, in an increasingly
congested market, selecting the right
business school can be dicult, which
is far from ideal given the time and
investment involved.
Using a ranking system entirely
geared and weighted to fact-based
criteria, CEO Magazine aims to cut
through the noise and provide potential
students with a performance benchmark
for those schools under review.
