Financial Times Rankings 2002
Jones School: The Best in Texas!
The Financial Times released its 2002 rankings of the world's hundred best business schools on January 21, 2002. Rice's Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Management is the highest ranked business school in Texas and in the region. The Jones School is steadily climbing in the rankings. Our overall ranking is 24th in the U.S. (56 U.S. schools), compared to a ranking of 35 (of 51 U.S. schools) in 2001. Our 2002 world ranking is 38, compared to 55 last year.
The Financial Times uses 22 categories to determine the rankings. The rank of a school is determined by its performance in three broad areas: the career progression accrued from the MBA-particularly its purchasing power in the marketplace (55 %); diversity of experience (20%), and the schools research qualities (25%).
