????Students have described Eli Broad's full-time MBA program as a home away from home. Small class sizes, with a heavy emphasis on team-based work in the curriculum, creates strong relationships between faculty and students. But the school didn't fare all that well in the rankings game this past year.
????Like several other schools that lost significant ground, Broad lost its Financial Times ranking, dropping off the FT list altogether after placing 65th on the newspaper's global list in 2010. It also fell three places in the 2011 U.S. News ranking to 46th from 49th a year earlier. These setbacks weren't cancelled out by a slight gain in the new Forbes list, where Broad moved up to a rank of 19 among U.S. schools from No. 21 a year ago.
????Percentage of MBAs with job offers at graduation: 78%
