The USNWR 2024 Best Business Schools Rankings surveyed more than 496 institutions with MBA programs in the U.S. accredited by AACSB International, widely considered a gold standard of business school accreditation. Pepperdine Graziadio was among the 136 business schools receiving a ranking.

Student selectivity and peer assessment were the primary drivers of the USNWR Part-Time MBA (PTMBA) ranking. Full-Time MBA (FTMBA) program rankings were informed by three indicators: quality assessment, placement success, and student selectivity.
