These new top-20 rankings for the Americas and Asia-Pacific are based on the quality and breadth of business schools’ postgraduate programmes. The Financial Times measured their performance in the main rankings published in 2017: MBA, Executive MBA, Masters in Management (MiM) and the two rankings for Executive Education. The new tables use the same methodology as those for Europe; the exception is that the placings for the Americas do not include the MiM as too few schools participate.

The Wharton School is top in the Americas, ahead of Columbia Business School and MIT Sloan School of Management. Wharton, at the University of Pennsylvania, does not top any individual ranking but performs strongly in all of them. It is second for MBA and seventh for EMBA. Sloan entered the EMBA ranking for the first time, helping the school to third place in the Americas table.
