U.S.: Debt ranking
The MBA students at the Wharton School find themselves the most in debt. After completing their program they are on average burdened with a debt of $93,000 USD. However there is only a small connection between the rate of debt and the placement of the school in the rankings.
Those who do their MBA at Wharton have the most debt, said the newspaper US News and World Report. In second place are the graduates of the Tuck School of Business ($90,078 USD), followed by the University of Chicago ($83,600 USD) and Pepperdine University (($83,245 USD). In contrast, Stanford grads “only” have debts of $72,500 USD, grads of the New York school Stern simply have to pay back $64,146 USD and at the Haas School at the University of Berkeley they owe only $54,254 USD.
Upon comparing the level of debts with the school’s placement in the newest ranking of the US magazine, Berkeley proves itself as almost a bargain as the Californian school lands in seventh place. Harvard and Stanford share first place, with Wharton coming in third and MIT, Kellogg and Chicago all sharing the fourth spot on the rankings. Pepperdine University, in contrast, doesn’t appear on the rankings at all.
