ATLANTA — U.S. News & World Report released its annual rankings of graduate business schools today, which includes the Full-Time, Evening and Executive MBA programs at Emory University’s Goizueta Business School.

The Full-Time MBA program remained in the Top 20 for the second-straight year, landing at No. 20 on the list. The program was ranked No. 19 in last year’s publication. The Evening program ranked 25th. Goizueta’s Full-Time and Evening programs have each ranked in the U.S. News Top 25 for more than a decade. The Executive MBA program tied for No. 17.

“It is an honor to see our MBA programs remain among the best in the United States,” Dean Erika James said. “However, beyond the recognition, rankings provide insights to areas that we should strengthen or maintain.”

Data from the Class of 2016 was used for the full-time ranking, which relies on metrics including GMAT scores, recruiter surveys, salary/bonus data and job and internship acceptance rate three months post graduation. Surveys are also sent to deans and directors at other business schools who are asked to rate academic quality at other accredited programs. The part-time rank is determined, in part, by reputation surveys, GMAT scores, GPAs of entering students and work experience.
