There are three main sections in the rankings survey; Program Data, Student Data and Faculty Data. We use two main types of scoring - stepped linear where the higher the answer, the higher the score (e.g. percentage of faculty with a professional background), or a bell curve where the maximum score is given for an answer that falls in the middle banding of a range of bands (e.g. percentage of female students). Where questions require a yes or no answer, points are given for a ‘yes’. The weighting for each section breaks down as follows (N.B. This is for the full-time and part-time MBA data, the EMBA and Online MBA weightings vary only slightly):
Weighting of Data Points Quality of Faculty: 34.95% International Diversity: 9.71% Class Size: 9.71% Accreditation: 8.74% Faculty to Student Ratio: 7.76% Price: 5.83% International Exposure: 4.85% Work Experience: 4.85% Professional Development: 4.85% Gender Parity: 4.85% Delivery methods: 3.8%
