Fortune Recommends, the product review arm of Fortune, presented its fourth annual ranking of the best full-time Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs for 2025. For this year’s ranking, the Fortune team analyzed data from nearly 100 MBA programs and considered 11 key ranking factors, including base salaries of recent graduates, cost of tuition, graduation rates, and the number of MBA alumni now serving in Fortune 1000 C-suite positions.
“The Manderson MBA continues to appear on national rankings because we offer a premium business education at a competitive price,” said Manderson Associate Dean Dr. Sharif Melouk. “MBA areas of focus like cybersecurity and business analytics show how we keep one eye on the pulse of the market, making sure our graduates are well positioned to immediately add value to their firms.”
“Our students are an amazing, focused group of future leaders who are motivated by our Manderson Standard and how it enables them to emerge with the Manderson Advantage and land top-tier jobs,” said Director of MBA Recruiting and Admissions Betsey Voorhees. “Many choose to try out for our MBA Case Team, which competes successfully with top b-school students across the country.”
