(Correction: This table corrects the letter grades for teaching quality, caliber of classmates, and curriculum. Due to a production error, many of the grades were incorrect when the table was originally published on Nov. 10.)

Program costs, GMAT score, and class size were self-reported by schools. Grads reporting salary increase and average salary increase are based on survey respondents only. Student survey rank is based on 2011 survey responses. Academic quality is a measure of six equally weighted measures: average GMAT score, average student work experience, the percentage of teachers who are tenured, average class size in core business classes, the number of business electives available to part-timers, and the percentage of students who ultimately complete the program. Post-MBA outcomes rank is based on the percentage of student survey respondents who say the program was "completely" responsible for them achieving their career goals. Letter grades are based on the 2011 graduate survey only. In each category, the top 20% earned an A+, the next 25% received As, the next 35% were awarded Bs, and the bottom 20% got Cs.
