2006 Financial Times Rankings

Wharton rated #1 in FT in 2006 and 2005


The Wharton school at the University of Pennsylvania, ranked number one in the Financial Times ranking again this year, also takes the purist route, with all its courses in Philadelphia and San Francisco taught by Wharton folk. Like Prof Snyder, Howard Kaufold, director of Wharton’s MBA for Executives, believes it is a question of quality, and believes there is confusion in the marketplace about the content on many EMBA programmes. “There’s a general relaxation of standards. It’s a battle we are constantly fighting.”


Wharton again rated #1 in FT for salaries after graduation


The Wharton school at the University of Pennsylvania has topped the ranking for the fifth year in a row. Its students earn the highest salaries three years after graduation ($229,728). However, in common with many of the top EMBA programmes, specially in the US, the Wharton course fees are well in excess of $100,000.
