MBA Return on Investment

Forbes
magazine this months publishes an innovative ranking of the 50 best
MBA programs in the US. Unlike uber-ranker US
News and World Report (which unfortunately since last year charges
for access to its rankings, and for which I excoriated
them), the Forbes
list does not measure retention, reputation or test scores. Instead it
claims
to
evaluate RETURN
ON YOUR INVESTMENT DOLLAR.

The idea is simple; it costs upwards of $225, 000 (in tuition and fees)
to get an MBA from an exclusive university like Stanford or MIT, much
less for state schools like UMass. Considering average starting and continuing
salaries for graduates of each school, which ones will allow graduates
to recover their investment the quickest?

It also includes a list of the top non-US Business Schools, which I
have not seen at US News or anywhere else.
