Note: As the schools in our ranking do not differentiate between online and traditional programs when granting diplomas, salary data is from the traditional MBA programs.
For the small number of schools without salary data, the median salary of all reporting institutions was granted. For the small number of schools without exact living alumni data, living alumni values were estimated from the size of traditional and MBA program classes and the number of years respective programs have been in existence.
Schools with both salary and living alumni data missing were not ranked.
