Haas Ranked by WSJ
It is hard not to experience a moment of pride for one's alma mater
when it keeps improving in national rankings. (I took my MBA at Haas,
through an amazing array of
courses and seminars---three semesters of it in the evening
and three semesters of it in the day programs.)

Now, The Wall Street Journal has ranked UC Berkeley's Haas Graduate School of Business as 5th in the nation.
Strangely enough,
Wharton, Harvard and Yale don't even make it to the top 5 national
picks. (If you cannot reach the WSJ report, you may consult the
corresponding PR release
from Haas.) I think Haas has a great program and one of its best
attributes is the excellent array of innovative economists who are
associated with the school not to mention the fact that it is housed in
one of the best universities in the U.S. This is the first time the day program in the UC Berkeley graduate
school of business ranks in the
national top five.
In an industry ranking, recruiters from technology,
telecommunications and Internet sectors have ranked Haas as #1. The WSJ has also published the complete report. (You may want to consult this summary, which The WSJ seems to be making available for free at least until it goes into archive.)
Here is a quote from the Haas PR release on the WSJ report:
Recruiters also voted Haas the second
most undervalued school (tied with Carnegie-Mellon University), and the
ninth best for CEO material. They named Haas the third best school for
hiring women, the fifth best school for minorities, and the fifth best
for hiring graduates with strong ethical standards.
The Wall Street Journal quotes recruiters applauding Haas graduates for their creative and entrepreneurial streak...
This is the sixth annual Wall Street Journal ranking. It is based on
the opinions and behaviors of 4125 recruiters. Harris Interactive
conducted the recruiter survey for the Wall Street Journal. Recruiter
names were provided by participating business schools.
