The University of Georgia Terry College of Business Full-Time MBA is ranked No. 23 in the U.S. and No. 7 among public schools by Bloomberg Businessweek.

These are the Georgia MBA program’s highest Bloomberg Businessweek rankings to date. The Best B-Schools survey has ranked top graduate business programs since 1988.

“This recognition affirms the hard work of our students, faculty and alumni who make our Full-Time MBA one of the nation’s best,” said Terry College Interim Dean Santanu Chatterjee. “Our record ranking reflects the program’s strength, learning opportunities and return on investment.”

The Bloomberg Businessweek ranking is based on scores in five key areas, with nearly 70 top-tier MBA programs in the U.S. ranked on compensation, learning, networking, entrepreneurship and inclusion. As part of the ranking’s methodology, schools contribute employment and compensation data. Among these rankings, Terry’s Full-Time MBA placed second overall in learning, third in networking and eighth in entrepreneurship.

Survey data from the Class of 2025 reported that 95 percent of Full-Time MBA students from the Terry College received job offers consistent with their career aspirations within three months of graduation. The median total compensation, including starting salary and signing bonus, reported by Terry graduates across all industries is $145,850.

Earlier this year, the Financial Times rated Georgia’s Full-Time MBA the No. 1 value for the money worldwide and No. 11 among public programs in the U.S.

Bloomberg Businessweek included a quote from a recent Terry graduate, who noted the program had “engaging professors, with a driven cohort, affordable with relevant graduate assistantship, and increasing earning potential, while having fun doing it.”
