QS Stars Business Schools
By Staff W
Updated October 21, 2020 Updated October 21, 2020QS Stars Business Schools is a rating system providing an in-depth evaluation of business schools on a range of key performance indicators. Developed from the QS Stars Universities rating system, QS Stars Business Schools uses a methodology designed to assess criteria of particular relevance for institutions specializing in business education. The aim is to provide an additional resource for prospective business school applicants, while also enabling business schools to benchmark their own performance, identifying both fields of excellence and areas for development.

Each assessment component carries a maximum number of points, which adds up to a ‘Star rating’ of between 0 and 5 Stars. As well as a Star rating for each category, business schools are also awarded an overall QS Stars rating, which is based 75% from criteria relating to the school as a whole, and 25% from assessment of a specialist program.
