Harvard Business School has topped the Financial Times MBA rankings for the first time in eight years, ousting its biggest rival, California-based Stanford Graduate School of Business. Harvard is one of only four schools to top the rankings in their 15 year history – the other three are Stanford, the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and London Business School. Harvard’s rise marks a resurgence in the top US MBA programmes in the annual FT rankings. In 2013 six US business schools featured in the top 10, compared with five in 2012. Of the top 100 schools 51 are located in the US. (McGill/Desautels MBA program ranks 76th, compared with 61st in 2012.)Â
