Featured Business Schools

As the birthplace of the MBA, North America has always been the dominant player in MBA education. With hundreds of the world's best business schools at institutions in every state and major city, it is still a growing hub for MBA hopefuls.

But it is the leading US business schools that dominate the market. These schools have long-established networks of alumni, people who believe in their school's core values and will use the network to mutual benefit. The schools benefit from this too as they are able to return to their alumni for years after they leave the school to ask for financial contributions, though the recent economic downturn has seen a dent in this.

Since QS began its annual research into the opinions of MBA applicants, the USA has always been the number one destination for MBA candidates, with around 80% of candidates considering studying there.

Canada is popular too, perennially third behind the UK. It is testament to the quality of the schools and the great reputation they have built up that these figures have remained the same for several years.
