Top MBA Schools in the US Based on Value

Here we take a look at the Top 10 MBA Schools in the US and rank them in terms of value.

Value is determined by using the money earned by alumni from each school today, course length, school tuition and other costs, and the opportunity cost of not working during a full time MBA education.

When the value factor is considered, the list looks a bit different than a traditional ranking of Top MBA Schools. Chicago, Columbia, Dartmouth, Yale and NYU all fall out of the Top 10.

Schools that find their way into this Top 10 MBA Schools list include Northwestern, Babson College, Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, USC and MIT.
