US News Rankings is the globally accepted, reliable source for the MBA Programs in USA. This ranking is largely apt in every sense. The only grey element in this ranking is the vapid attitude towards quite a few state funded business schools. Such schools, often conservative in their marketing efforts, are often ranked below their potential ranking by the US News Rankings.
