Forbes Magazine released its fourth biennial rankings of the best business schools in the United States. UNC Kenan-Flagler ranks number 14. Looking at the rankings, I was shocked to see business schools I have never heard of get ranked higher than Kenan-Flagler.
I am beginning to believe that Dean Steve Jones is correct when he said on the first day of orientation that magazines issue rankings to sell magazines. This explains why some publications (ie the Wall Street Journal, Forbes) that are not known for ranking business schools will release a set of rankings that contain a few surprises. Anyone who would rank the Tippie College of Business over Kenan-Flagler (Forbes) or Darden over Harvard (WSJ) should have his head examined.
