When you are going to spend $100,000 on a two-year MBA degree, it pays you to make sure that you get it from a top college. Almost everyone can name one or two most popular business schools - these include Harvard Business School, made famous in books such as "What they don't teach you at Harvard Business School", and Stanford Graduate School of Business. However, for an average student looking to get a business degree, it is hard to come up with the top ten MBA schools in US without looking it up somewhere. That is why we present to you this list of the seven best MBA schools in the US. All the following colleges have come up tops in the rankings of magazines such as Financial Times, The Economist and the Business Week.
