What are the international rankings for MBA and DBA?
Some well-known international rankings for business schools that can indirectly reflect the quality of DBA programs include:
- QS World University Rankings: This ranking system assesses universities based on academic reputation, employer reputation, faculty/student ratio, citations per faculty, international diversity, and more.
- Financial Times Global MBA Ranking: While this ranking primarily focuses on Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs, top business schools with strong MBA programs often offer DBA programs as well.
- The Economist Intelligence Unit’s Which MBA?: Similar to the Financial Times ranking, this ranking system primarily focuses on MBA programs but can offer insights into the overall reputation of business schools.
- The Shanghai Ranking: also known as the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), does not have a specific ranking for DBA (Doctor of Business Administration) programs. The ARWU primarily focuses on research performance and academic excellence of universities and does not provide specialized rankings for specific professional or doctoral programs such as DBA.
- The Dubai Ranking: The association of DBA’s (Doctorate in business administration) International Dubai Ranking™ aims to create an international ranking of academic research programs applied to business.
