While one cannot dispute the pedigree of European and, increasingly, Asian business schools, for many prospective students the US is the be all and end all of business education. It is after all the birthplace of business education.
International recruiters certainly hold top US schools in high regard. The number included in the QS Global 200 Business Schools report certainly stands as testament to this. With 90 representatives, the US accounts for nearly half of the schools included.
So, which business schools in the US do employers consider to be the best of the best? Using data drawn from report, here’s the 10 top US business schools.
1. Harvard Business School
Average GMAT score: 730
Average salary on graduation: US$120, 000
It won’t come as a massive surprise to see Harvard Business School occupying its traditional top spot in the eyes of international recruiters. Harvard was the first place in the world you could get an MBA, and many business schools around the world still look to HBS for leadership – no fewer than 80% of case studies sold around the world are written by the school’s faculty.
Classroom participation is a key element on the HBS MBA, so not one for shrinking violets! It’s not just a big name; the school boasts over 30 buildings and a considerable tract of land.
2. Stanford GSB
Average GMAT score: 729
Average salary on graduation: US$129, 692
The Silicon Valley location of the Stanford GSB (and Stanford’s general status as a tech powerhouse) means that it’s great location for those looking to dip their toes into the tech startup scene; nearly a third of 2013 graduates ended up in the technology sector. Students are encouraged to draw on resources from the university’s other schools, with the emphasis being on creating a personalized experience for each student. No other school in this list can match Stanford GSB’s figure of 42% international students.
3. Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania
Average GMAT score: 725
Average salary on graduation: US$ 120, 000
The world’s first collegiate school of business, the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania is known for its data and facts-driven approach, which perhaps goes some way to explaining its famous strength in finance. As well offering the usual suite of MBA and doctoral programs, the Wharton School offers a range of undergraduate programs. Its alumni network numbers 92, 000, including one Nunzio Quacquarelli, founder and CEO of QS and TopMBA.com.
4. The University of Chicago Booth School of Business
Average GMAT score: 715
Average salary of graduation: US$ 115, 079
The second oldest school in the US and the birthplace of the executive MBA and the doctoral program in business, Chicago Booth is another data-focused school; 43.2% of the 2012 cohort ended up in the finance industry. The school offers evening and weekend programs in addition to its full-time offerings and would well suit a candidate who wished to stay in their current role. Chicago Booth is home to Eugene F. Fama and Lars Peter Hansen, winners of the 2013 Nobel Prize in Economics, as well as four other Nobel laureates in economics.

US Beliefs.....our new credo according to "W"
by sueZqThings you have to believe to be a Republican today:
Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush's daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him and a bad guy when Bush needed a "we can't find Bin Laden" diversion.
Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.
The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest national priority is enforcing UN resolutions against Iraq.
A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multinational corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation

by 3for3And it seems that Salon Professional Academy is the ONLY school that teaches professionalism, technique and business as well as advanced classes taking the stylist beyond the 5 basic haircuts learned at other schools - the program is dedicated to teach students how to track slow steady growth and placement after school - they are involved with a consulting firm that travels the whole united states teaching salon owners, school owners, educators, stylists and support staff how to realize success - it would be best to compare and keep your whole career in mind not just the initial cost
Californians CAN take back our state -- we need
by to-take-back-our-stateA once-in-a-generation voter revolt is brewing.
This revolt is growing quickly and will test the very ideals of democracy to fix a state that has fallen far and fast. The movement for a constitutional convention offers Californians who passionately love their state a chance to cease armchair criticism and instead stand up to lead. The cause of the revolt is obvious, and legions of Californians have decided they are not going to take it anymore.
Our public schools, once the nation's best, are now among the worst. Our crumbling transportation and water systems were the envy of the world just a generation ago
