The table below shows how each school fared on each element of Bloomberg Businessweek’s ranking methodology: our student surveys, employer surveys, and intellectual capital measure. The 2012 rank is based on the ranking index, which represents the weighted total of all three elements. (Index numbers have been rounded and what appear to be ties are not.) A methodology change this year resulted in some big shifts, including Southern Methodist’s fall from No. 12 to No. 29. For more information, see our methodology and historical ranking.
