SDA Bocconi in the Top 5 of Forbes

, by Tomaso Eridani
The School places 5th in the 2017 ranking of the best international 12 month MBA programs, ranking based on the return on investment. SDA Bocconi is also the school with the fastest payback period

An effort that really pays off. Valued for its return on investment, SDA Bocconi School of Management's MBA is in fact ranked as the fifth best 1-year program in the world (among non-American business schools) according to Forbes, which has published its biennial ranking of the best MBA programs. SDA Bocconi is also confirmed as the only Italian business school present in all the most important international rankings.

The ranking is based on the sole criteria of return on investment that graduates have obtained in the five years after their MBA (ie. the improvement in salary that graduates realize minus the cost of the program and the salary lost during studies). The ranking is drawn up on the basis of a survey of 2012 graduates from over 100 top business schools all over the world.

Among the 1-year programs in the ranking SDA Bocconi's MBA also results to have the lowest, and thus most advantageous, years-to-payback ratio.
