20 top MBA programs whose grads land jobs right out of school

Our sixth annual ranking of the 50 best business schools in the world evaluated MBA programs based on reputation, average starting salary after graduation, job-placement rate within three months of graduation, average GMAT score, and tuition and fees (read our full methodology here).

Because business school is such a hefty investment, the ability to get a job soon after graduating is an important factor in choosing where to go.

To come up with our list of the 20 top business schools for getting a job right away, we broke out the schools by job-placement rate. Some schools that ranked highly on our main list didn't make this ranking because of lower job placement figures, such as Harvard (91%) and Stanford (86%). It's worth noting though that many students at these schools decide to start their own businesses - an employment result that schools don't factor into their overall job placement statistic.
