Between
1988 and
2004, the school's position in
BusinessWeek's biennial business school ranking has averaged around #5 and #6. BusinessWeek also ranks major academic divisions/disciplines; all of the school's divisions ranked in the top five in all nine surveys of the past twenty years. The magazine has consistently rated the major disciplines of the University of Michigan Business School in the top five since it launched its biannual ranking of professional schools in 1988. Only three other business schools can make this claim.
When BusinessWeek Online announced its "Top Ten Management Gurus," based on surveying executives worldwide, Michigan professors Dave Ulrich (rated number one), Noel Tichy, C. K. Prahalad and Michigan alumnus Gary Hamel, PhD 1990, dominated the list.
BusinessWeek's "The Best B-Schools" report of October 2004 ranked the business school sixth overall among the best business schools, and fourth in leadership for its training efforts. In the same report, under the "Best and Brightest" category for schools that produce graduates with the best skills, the business school ranked:
In other BusinessWeek rankings, the MBA program was given an overall rank:
In its Executive Education Rankings, BusinessWeek ranked the business school:

U.S. News and World Report's Departmental Excellence Ratings (2002) placed Michigan in the top five for strength "across the board."
U.S. News & World Report's Best Undergraduate Business Program rankings (2006) placed Michigan third, tied with University of California-Berkley. This is the highest rating for any public university.

2007 Top Ten Business Schools with the Best Career Prospects Provided by The Princeton Review
The business world is about the bottom line and the bottom dollar, and students who pursue an MBA enjoy a major return on their investment. To determine the schools on this list, The Princeton Reivew looked at institutional data concerning job placement and average starting salary of students after graduation. In addition, The Princeton Review asked students to discuss the efforts of their career placement office, the quality of recruiting companies, their level of preparation, and more. According to The Princeton Review’s annual survey of 18,000 business school students at the nation’s Best 282 Business Schools, these ten schools offer their students the best career prospects.
The Career Management Center at Stanford doesn’t have to do a whole lot; companies come looking for Stanford MBAs without much prompting. In addition to great career services, students agree that Stanford has a “strong alumni network where you can get help when needed.”
Overall, Chicago graduates find jobs and are well-placed in their field, and school-facilitated sources account for over 80 percent of all hires. One student points out that Chicago “is one of only a few schools to have been at the top for nearly 100 years, so there is an amazing, deep alumni network of professionals” who are “very excited to help build presence at their firms.”
When it’s time to find a job, the students at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business benefit from their program’s high profile and sound reputation. In addition, the Haas Career Center provides a broad range of excellent services including one-on-one advisement and a mentoring program in which second-year students counsel first years in their search for internships.
Michigan’s Ross School of Business “literally has the largest alumni network of any business school in the world.” The desirability of Ross MBAs can be seen in the geographic diversity of their first-job locations. While one in three remains in the Midwest, others head everywhere from the mid-Atlantic to the Pacific Coast to companies outside of the United States.
Columbia’s MBA Career Services Office benefits from a propitious location in the financial capital of the world. The office helps students coordinate internship and employment searches and also provides a “range of complementary resources from intimate workshops on interviewing and presentation skills to a five-part course on different aspects of the job.”
Wharton is a brand that pretty much sells itself so it’s no surprise that the school’s career services are highly regarded and widely appreciated by students. Mock interviews, internship placement, one-on-one counseling, and over 25 career paths both in and outside the United States are just some of the reasons students praise Wharton’s “fantastic career opportunities.”
Being situated between Wall Street and Midtown definitely has its perks for Stern’s Office of Career Development. As one student says, “There is a huge emphasis on career here.” Stern’s NYC location “is a mecca for several key industries and provides Stern students with a broad range of opportunities that meet their career objectives.” Harvard University (Cambridge, Massachusetts)
UCLA students are in the fortunate position of being able to draw upon an alumni network that includes more than 33,000 “corporate executives, entrepreneurs, consultants, film producers, high tech innovators, financiers, and other professionals.” Students say, “The school makes good use of its alumni network and the diverse industries in the Los Angeles area.”
Northwestern students are confident that their school has a “sterling reputation among corporate recruiters.” Marketing, finance, and consulting recruiters from major firms are particularly well-represented, and the networking opportunities are “tremendous.”
The Academy of Management Journal, in its most recent ranking (2000), ranked the faculty in the top two for research performance among business schools. The National Black MBA Association named the University of Michigan Business School the "Outstanding Educational Institution of the Year" in 2001. Hispanic Business magazine rated the University of Michigan Business School as one of the 10 best graduate schools in the nation for Hispanics.
I'm curious as to why the rankings were moved to the discussion page? I read a lot of blather about NPOV. My take is that rankings by national publications -- however subjective the underlying methodolgy used to construct those rankings -- are the closest thing to objective that one will find. One might argue about the subjectivity of the adjectives and adverbs used in the article, while rankings have at least some objective legitimacy. Putting the rankings on the main page offers reasonably objective metrics for the quality of the school. While Wikipedia is not supposed to be an advertisement for a particular school, the university's public status makes in ripe for under-ranking. If rankings are included for other schools, I believe they should be included in this article as well. This isn't a trivial issue, it is actually a pretty serious econometric issue: many schools have a certain luster conveyed by "reputation", and their graduates benefit greatly -- in a dollars and cents sort of way -- thereby and reputation reportage reinforces reputation, however well or ill deserved. I believe that the playing field should be level for all schools: excise rankings for every school, or include rankings for every school. With respect, I'd be interested in "pushback" from the editor who moved the rankings. 66.65.76.15 01:20, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

More Indian-origin persons in Forbes list of richest Americans
New York, Sep 21 : Bharat Desai, founder of leading IT and ITeS firm Syntel, and his family have joined acoustics pioneer Amar Gopal Bose and Google founder-director Kavitark Ram Shriram as the only Indian origin persons to figure in Forbes' list of the 400 richest Americans. Desai and family have been ranked 286th with a fortune of $1.7 billion in the 2007 list released Thursday. However, both Bose and Shriram, who shared the 242nd post last year, went down the list and now share the 271st position though their respective personal fortunes went up from $1.5 billion to $1.8 billion. Born to an accountant in Kenya, Desai, now 54, moved to India at age 11. He passed out from the Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai, before doing his MBA from the University of Michigan. He founded Syntel in 1988 along with his wife Neerja.

Alumni - although I don't really like him, Governer Snyder should be added. Also, I thought I read the founders of Groupon were some Ross alumni, tried to get a mascot started on campus in 90's.

Hello, I work in the communications & marketing office at the Ross School of Business.
Last year I did some work to clean up some clear factual errors (and broken links, etc.) in the Ross entry. However, there are still some areas where the entry is incomplete, outdated, or not-quite-right. But having digested the Wikipedia guidelines on conflicts of interest and academic boosterism, it was pretty clear I shouldn’t make any further changes myself.
So – and I hope this approach is OK – I thought I would propose the following changes here, and if others think they are reasonable, maybe someone could find the time to make them (or tell me it’s OK for me to do it)? Thanks in advance, Bob Needham
• The info box lists a motto, “Leading in thought and action.” Although that hasn’t formally been eliminated, we’re not really using it any more. We suggest replacing it with our mission statement: “Mission: Developing leaders who make a positive difference in the world.”
• Also in the info box, the current endowment is actually $385 million (not $540 million)
• Also in the box, if “Academic staff” means faculty, a current number is 210 (151 full time plus 59 adjunct or visiting)
• Also in the box, student numbers can be updated to 1,422 (undergraduate) and 1,873 (graduate)
• Also in the box, alumni could be updated to “45,000+” or “about 46,000”
• Under Facilities and institutes: The date of the announcement of the second Stephen Ross gift is wrong – it was September 2013 (not 2014). We propose an additional sentence explaining what the money will go toward: “The second gift is being used for facilities upgrades, including high-tech classrooms, a new career services space, and additional areas for practical research; as well as student scholarships.” (ref: http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-09-04/stephen-ross-makes-200-million-gift-to-university-of-michigan)
• Also under Facilities and institutes – Although we wouldn’t expect to list all the school’s institutes and centers (there are 17), one of the more prominent is missing. We’d suggest adding: “Center For Positive Organizations ( http://positiveorgs.bus.umich.edu/) / Founded in 2002 as the Center for Positive Organizational Scholarship, the center’s mission is ‘to inspire and enable leaders to build high-performing organizations that bring out the best in people.’ It conducts and disseminates research on topics such as positive leadership, meaning and purpose, ethics and virtues, and relationships and culture in an organizational setting. Starting in 2014, it sponsors an annual Positive Business Conference. (ref: http://www.freep.com/article/20140516/BUSINESS06/305160145/university-michigan-positive-conference) ”
• The History section is clearly lacking (it really only covers 1990-2011). I will create a separate post proposing some updates for that section.
• Under Current and former professors, it would be good to add Kim S. Cameron, who has a Wikipedia entry: /info/en/?search=Kim_S._Cameron
• Finally, the school’s URL will be changing as of Aug. 1. If it’s OK, I’ll go in and make that one change myself when the time comes.
