3.5.2 Average Years of Work Experience

The survey authors are of the opinion that the greater the level of experience of an incumbent class of MBA students, the greater the learning experience for all participants. This is also listed in the tables. Many Deans comment in their opening
speech that MBA students will learn as much from each other as they will from their professors. The inference is that the greater the average number of years of work experience, the higher the quality of the student class.

3.5.3 International Profile of School

The survey authors aim to identify global business schools and as such, identifying the percentage of international students and the percentage of international faculty is an important measure of the global outlook of the school. For example, several US and Asian business schools which feature well amongst recruiters still attract primarily domestic students and faculty and may be of less interest to an international student looking for a truly global experience. This data can be found on topmba.com/scorecard and not within the body of this report.

3.5.4 Career Services Employment Results

The survey authors also wish to identify the employability of MBAs graduating from these business schools. The average salary on graduation, as well as the percentage employed three months after graduation, are two key measures accepted by the MBA Career Service Council as valid measures of B-school Career Service performance. This data can be found on topmba.com/scorecard and not within the body of this report.

The authors have undertaken their best efforts to ensure that all data presented in this report is consistently provided by each school subject to MBA Career Service Council Standards (www.mbacsc.org). All North American schools have confirmed they report in line with these standards. All European, Asian and Latin American schools have certified that the data they provide does conform to these standards, but QS has not been able to validate this in all cases (we have undertaken random audits and all such schools have been verified).
