Guide to Finding Information on
Business Schools

Visit the website of the University of Alabama's Manderson Graduate School of Business.

There are several organizations that rank business schools or offer descriptions and evaluations of graduate business programs. Often the information is available on the Web; sometimes we have a printed publication.

The website provides only a little information for free. Online editions of the list as it appears in the printed magazine are difficult to read. Your best bet is to find a copy of the correct issue of the printed magazine.
