INSEAD MBA Ranking, Class Profile and Employment Report: 82% of Students Changed Sector, Function or Location

Insead
Business School Ranking

The INSEAD MBA with its diverse class profile, international faculty and three campuses is ranked among the top Business Schools in the world. Although all the top Business School ranking publications have rated INSEAD highly, it seems to be dropping a notch over the past year. The Economist ranks it a surprisingly low 19, the same over the past two years. The Businessweek Non-US MBA rankings see it slip from No. 1 to the No. 2 spot behind London Business School over the last year. The Financial Times’ Global MBA Rankings see INSEAD move from #5 to #4 and then back down to #6 over the last three years.
