HANOVER, N.H.—The Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth was ranked #1 by Forbes magazine in their ranking of the best business schools in the country. The magazine ranks business schools biennially based on the return on investment for its graduates. This is the second consecutive time that Tuck has held the #1 spot in this ranking.
Forbes surveys alumni and determines return on investment by looking at five-year total compensation after graduation, minus the sum of tuition and forgone compensation. Tuck’s median five-year gain was $115,000—$13,000 higher than Stanford, the second-ranked school. The survey listed 56 schools in total. The complete report can be found in the September 3 issue of Forbes magazine on news stands and online at Forbes.com.
BusinessWeek, the Financial Times, Forbes, U.S. News & World Report, The Wall Street Journal, and the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Which MBA? each regularly publish a ranking of graduate business schools. Tuck consistently places in the top five among U.S. schools when these rankings are averaged.
Tuck's dean, Paul Danos, attributes Tuck’s success to its teaching style and philosophy. "It's a combination of personal attention to students, faculty caring about students, and students caring about each other," he said. "I think that’s really key, and it’s key in business too. Every great organization is about people, and Tuck is no exception."
Founded in 1900, the Tuck School of Business is the first graduate school of management in the country and consistently ranks among the top business schools worldwide. Information about the Tuck School is available at www.tuck.dartmouth.edu.
