BusinessWeeks surveys for the rankings every two years and scores each school in the following criteria, with explanations from BusinessWeek:
  1. The student survey: "This comprises approximately 50 equally weighted questions measuring every aspect of student satisfaction with the MBA experience—from teaching to course content to career outcomes—as well as additional questions about the person completing the survey."
  2. Goals Measure: "Through a series of questions in the student survey, we determine the percentage of respondents in three distinct categories who say their MBA program was "completely" or "somewhat" important in achieving their goals. The categories are "career advancers" who are seeking career advancement with their current employer; "job switchers" who are seeking career advancement with a new employer in the same industry; and "career changers" who want to change industries, functional areas, or both."
  3. Academic Quality: "This consists of six equally weighted measures: average GMAT scores for part-time MBA students, average work experience for part-time MBA students, the percentage of all teachers in the part-time MBA program who are tenured faculty, average class size in core business classes, total number of business electives available to part-time MBA students, and the completion rate for students in the part-time MBA program. This is supplied to BusinessWeek by the schools themselves, when they complete the school survey."

From EIU's Ranking Methodology:

Data were collected during spring 2006 using two web-based questionnaires, one for business schools and one for students and recent graduates. Schools distributed the web address of the latter questionnaire to their own students and graduates. Around 20,000 students and graduates participated. All data received from schools were subject to verification checks, including, where possible, comparison with historical data, peer schools and other published sources. Student and graduate questionnaires were audited for multiple or false entries.

Memory has been built into the rankings by taking a weighted average of 2006 (50%), 2005 (30%) and 2004 (20%) data to provide a rounded picture of the school. Sudden movements in data, which might not produce an immediate increase in quality, are thus reflected gradually, much as the improvement would affect students.

Beyond Grey Pinstripes ranks business schools on four criteria:
  • Student Opportunity : a simple count of the number of courses that contain social, environmental, and/or ethical content;
  • Student Exposure : calculated by an analysis of enrollment numbers, credit ratios, and the reported percentage of course time dedicated to relevant issues, indicates the level of exposure students receive to social, environmental, and/or ethical issues within their courses;
  • Course Content : reflects the degree to which courses illustrate the value of integrating social, environmental, and/or ethical considerations into business decisions;
  • Faculty Research: indicates the number of relevant articles published in leading peer-reviewed academic journals. Journals accepted in the survey are determined prior to data review by a group of faculty advisors.
