Talk of the bay

Florida's top business schools a notch below U.S. best

By DAVE GUSSOW
Published September 26, 2005


In the world of business school rankings, there's clearly an A list and a B list.

The A list is made up of the top schools nationally, where 25 percent of corporate recruiters say they offer starting pay of $100,000 or more. That list, as reported last week in a survey by the Wall Street Journal and Harris Interactive, is led by Dartmouth College's Tuck School of Business, followed by the University of Michigan and Carnegie Mellon University.

The B list is made up of top regional schools, where only 8 percent of recruiters say they offer six-figure starting salaries. Purdue University's Krannert School of Management ranked first there, followed by Michigan State University's Eli Broad Grad School Of Management and Ohio State University's Fisher College of Business.

Representing the Sunshine State on the regional list are the University of Miami at No. 10 (up from No. 16 in the 2004 ranking) and the University of Florida's Warrington College of Business at No. 27 (slipping from No. 21 last year).

The complete list can be found online at www.harrisinteractive.com/bschools
