Wall Street Journal: One Year MBA Rankings - ESADE #6

The Wall Street Journal has recently published a report "The Top M.B.A. Programs if You're in a Hurry", and has ranked ESADE on #6 spot behind IE, IMD, Cranfield, Kellogs and Babson, but ahead of many other acclaimed Bschools.

The WSJ has been rating ESADE #1 for its long MBA program in the last two published rankings, and it is credible for ESADE that it has been rated amongst the best for its shorter program also.

However, it would be interesting to see the next rankings, since ESADE has now changed its MBA structure. Now students can enrol in the MBA program and then can later decide which version they want to pursue. This would give them flexibility to design THEIR career based on THEIR needs.

The new rankings judge various Bschools on the basis of skill enhancement, leadership enhancement and alumni impact, and rates each of these attributes as top, middle and bottom. These judgements, in my opinion, might not give a wide range of selection choices to candidates who wish to use the rankings. However, being the first rankings for the shorter version of MBA, I would see a good reflection of the content of the MBAs.
