MBA seekers frequently go abroad in search of the best MBA programs. Having an international MBA often gives a head start to those seeking jobs in the global business world.

Bloomberg Businessweek has compiled data from more than 1,000 recruiters, 15,000 alumni, and 9,000 recent grads. Their methodology focuses on how well MBA programs prepare their graduates with relevant skills and how thoroughly students have been prepared for the workforce. Rankings are comprised of five parts: Employer Survey (35%), Alumni Survey (30%), Student Survey (15%), Job Placement (10%), and Starting Salary (10%). This weighted ranking allows a program that is not the highest in all areas to still receive a high ranking. Findings include: †¢ Job placement three months post-MBA: 85.9% †¢ Average MBA debt for new grads: $40,000 †¢ Top industries for new grads: 2016 Top 20 International Programs: To read the complete report, check out  BWs  International Rankings.
