HANOVER, N.H.—The Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth placed #1 this year in The Wall Street Journal's national ranking of business schools. According to the Journal, "Survey respondents repeatedly praised its students for being down-to-earth team players. Tuck received its highest ratings this year for its 'well-rounded' students, their personal integrity, interpersonal and communication skills, and teamwork abilities." Tuck has consistently held one of the top three spots in the seven years this ranking has been published and this is the fourth time Tuck has placed #1.
Dean Paul Danos says, "As always, we're gratified when the media confirms the excellence of our learning community at Tuck. We hold teamwork and ethics as a valued part of our curriculum and we are pleased that recruiters recognize this as well."
The Wall Street Journal/Harris Interactive survey is unique because it ranks business schools according to the opinions of corporate recruiters. This year, 4,430 recruiters rated schools on 21 attributes, including students' leadership potential and strategic thinking, their previous work experience, the faculty and curriculum, and the career services office. These ratings, along with recruiters' future plans to recruit at a school and a "mass appeal" factor, make up the methodology for this ranking.
Recruiters named Tuck among the top 10 schools in Corporate Social Responsibility, Entrepreneurship, General Management, Marketing, and Strategy. Tuck also ranked as the top school for recruiting MBAs with high ethical standards, and was among the top 10 in recruiting women and for producing the most creative and innovative students.
BusinessWeek, the Financial Times, Forbes, U.S. News & World Report, The Wall Street Journal, and the Economist Intelligence Unit's Which MBA? each regularly publish a ranking of graduate business schools. Tuck places #1 when these rankings are averaged.
Founded in 1900, Tuck is the first graduate school of management in the country and consistently ranks among the top business schools worldwide.
