Haas Among Top B Schools in US News MBA Rankings

The Berkeley Full-time MBA Program was ranked #8 among US MBA programs, and the Evening & Weekend Program was ranked #5, according to the 2008 US News & World Reports annual survey published on March 30, 2007.
 
The methodologies for the two rankings are different. The full-time program ranking, in which Haas dropped one spot from #7 last year, is based on the opinions of peer institutions and recruiters, as well as the extensive 2005 admissions and placement data of the schools surveyed. These factors were weighed as follows: 40% quality assessment by peer institutions and recruiters, 35% placement success, 25% student selectivity in admissions.

The Evening & Weekend MBA program has ranked #5 for two consecutive years. The Berkeley-Columbia Executive MBA program was ranked #12. Both the part-time and executive MBA rankings are based purely on a perception poll of business school deans and MBA program directors at about 300 accredited US business schools.
 
The part-time and executive MBA rankings are part of the US News specialty rankings. Additional top-ten specialty rankings for Haas include:
 
#6 in Nonprofit
#7 in Marketing
#8 in Entrepreneurship
#9 in Management
#10 in Finance and
#10 in International

Haas also placed #10 in Health Care Management in a separate ranking of Health Disciplines.
