The Financial Times Global MBA Rankings methodology uses academic and employment criteria to rank the programs. The weighted salary and MBA salary increase each account for 20% of the Financial Times ranking. The weighted salary is adjusted for business sectors and purchasing power parity rates are used for converting international salaries. The Financial Times MBA Rankings also incorporate Z-scores in the final calculation to rank programs.
The Stanford Graduate School of Business ranked number one in the 2012 Financial Times Global MBA Rankings. Harvard Business School finished second and the University of Pennsylvania was third. London Business School was fourth and Columbia Business School in New York was fifth.
