The Tuck School of Business
placed number one 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 taken the top placing. 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 valued parts 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.
