In its 2025 listings of best graduate and professional programs, U.S News & World Report ranked Case Western Reserve University’s Weatherhead School of Management among the best business schools in the country.

The school is now No. 66 in the United States—rising two spots over last year’s ranking. In addition, Weatherhead’s part-time MBA program jumped 10 positions to No. 40.

“While a list can’t tell prospective students about all of the incredible qualities of Weatherhead’s programs, we are pleased to see our efforts to strengthen the student experience recognized in the latest U.S. News rankings,” said Co-Dean Andrew Medvedev.

U.S. News & World Report adjusted its methodology this year to place more emphasis on outcomes. Half of the ranking (up from 35% last year) measured employment rates at graduation and three months after, mean starting salary and bonus, and salary by profession. One-quarter of the ranking (down from 40%) was quality as assessed by peers and recruiters, with the other 25% focused on student selectivity: median GMAT and GRE scores, undergraduate GPA and acceptance rate.

“These new rankings are a step in the right direction for Weatherhead,” said Co-Dean J.B. Silvers, “and we look forward to seeing how we can continue to improve our programs and experiences for our students.”
