If you’re looking to go far in the world of business, few things will help you achive your goals like an MBA degree. There are thousands of universities where you can get said degree, but if your have the funds and the grades, you might want to think about going to one of the top schools in the country. Here, we’ll take a look at a few of these top business schools and see why any graduate of their program is going to find the road to success just a little less bumpy.


One of the top ranked business schools in the country, consistently, is Harvard. It’s not an easy school to get into by any means, but neither are any of the schools that constantly rank high in any of the surveys that count. They have a very stringent admission policy, and you won’t be getting in with a C average, no matter who your father is. With a degree from Harvard you can practically write your own ticket, and from anecdotal data, graduates seem to know this. Chief complaints from recruiters seem to intimate that Harvard MBA grads are cocky and have a sense of entitlement, which may be off-putting to some companies.

Located in New York City, Columbia Business School is another of the top business universities in the country. If Harvard’s admission policies are stringent, Columbia’s are nearly impossible, and they have one of the lowest admission rates in the United States among business schools. Among others, Warren Buffet obtained his MBA from Columbia, and went on to become the second richest man in the world. Your like success is not guaranteed.

The University of Chicago Graduate School of Business is also one of the most successful and prominent schools in the country. Unlike the other schools of its caliber, the school’s business program is somewhat flexible, allowing the student to create their own program within a broad set of requirements. This separates Chicago from Columbia and Harvard, in that these schools require that the student traverse a stringent path towards graduation, with little wiggle room. It has been the number one ranked business school by BusinessWeek for two years running.

To maximize your success in the business world, you need to have an MBA degree. With a higher percentage of students than ever going on to complete graduate school, the competition is too tough in today’s American to leave yourself at such a stunning disadvantage. While the above schools (and there are others) will give you a decided leg up, just about any MBA degree will help make your career course a little brighter, and raise the glass ceiling a little higher.
