Dartmouth College led the way in 1900, establishing the Tuck School of Business, the world’s first graduate school of business, and with it came the first advanced degree – an MSc in Commerce. Shortly after, other business schools followed suit. The first official MBA program was born, at Harvard Graduate School for Business Administration, in 1908.
Retaining its reputation as the leading MBA in the US even after its monopoly was shattered, Harvard’s program still stands at the forefront of graduate business education. Around 85% of MBA case studies used around the world are written by HBS faculty.
The QS Global 200 Business Schools Report reveals the list of top business schools in the US in the eyes of the world's employers. Over a third of schools in the top ‘Elite Global’ bracket are based in the US. Though the popularity of US business schools has decreased slightly in recent years, it still remains the most popular destination in the QS TopMBA Applicant Survey.
The progressive environments of these top schools adds to their appeal, with many Ivy League and reputed business schools participating in the Friend Factor MBA LGBT Ally Challenge, as well as having higher proportion of women among their annual cohorts.
Graduate MBA salaries and bonuses average at around US$123,239 for graduates of US schools in the Elite Global category.
