2019 Bloomberg MBA Ranking

‘Tis the season for university rankings. Bloomberg Businessweek recently conducted a survey of 126 business schools around the globe, polling the alumni of these graduate business programs on the academic quality of the programs, innovation, reputation, and the power of the school’s alumni network. And the result of the survey are in. So which university’s graduate business school placed first for the power of the school’s alumni network? We know this question has been keeping you up at night. Wonder no more.
