This interactive chart helps you sort through the specialty rankings to come up with a customized list related to your business program of interest. As part of BusinessWeek's 2008 Graduate Business Program Rankings, we asked corporate recruiters with wide knowledge of business schools to rank the graduates of full-time MBA programs in a dozen specialty areas and management attributes.
One of the key elements in this chart is the column on the far right, which notes whether the individual school ranked in the top 10 in the individual areas, and where it placed. Clicking on the name of the specialty brings up a chart of how all schools that were ranked by BusinessWeek in 2008 placed within that specialty.
