About Weatherhead - Rankings

Rankings play an important and challenging role in business education. They provide a useful way of tracking our progress as Weatherhead seeks to improve performance in teaching, research, student placements, and reputation. They also provide important information for students, prospective students, and alumni.

Because Weatherhead is small, and because some rankings do not evaluate a school unless its program is larger than a certain class size, we are occasionally left out of an evaluation; such an omission is not a reflection on the quality of our programs.

To learn more about the rankings process, please visit:

• The Business School Rankings Dilemma, AACSB’s comprehensive report developed by an international task force of business school educators and administrators
• Guide to Rankings, a resource website prepared by Boston College
• Caution and Controversy, an article with embedded links to multiple resources prepared by University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
