# Media Rankings Management

![business-school-media-rankings](https://www.mbalifecycle.com/hs-fs/file-15725904-jpg/images/rankings-500.jpg)

## **Why pursue business school rankings?**

Media rankings provide an opportunity to increase the quantity and caliber of your applications and can help improve school diversity by reaching additional students and demographic groups. 

## **Common questions:**

- Which rankings should we pursue? 
- How do we keep up with the methodology changes and is our program strong in those areas?
- How do we manage the time-consuming and labor intensive data collection process?
- How do we coordinate survey information from a wide variety of stakeholders (central university departments, faculty, alumni, students, etc.)
- How can we ensure that we meet the tight deadlines?
- How do we create a yearly rankings management plan?
- How do we track historical rankings and use past results to improve?
- How do we analyze and promote the results?  
- How should we communicate the results to the business school community (students, alumni, faculty, university and school administrators, corporate sponsors)?  

## **How we can help:**

We can advise which rankings to pursue and take the data collection and promotion of rankings off your plate to reduce the work load on your internal staff.

**Determine eligibility for each ranking and which ones to pursue**

**Review rankings methodology and your program making recommendations on how to improve ranking performance by program adjustments**

****Establish timelines to coordinate different facets of data collection to ensure deliverables are met on time **

- Notification to students and alumni of rankings eligibility.
- Providing media with student and/or alumni contact details.
- School surveys (faculty research publications, class demographics).

**Promote your rankings results with key stakeholders**

- Analyze metrics of results to determine key results to promote (% placement in total ranking, regional result, strength of school, diversity, faculty research).
- Write communications for alumni, current students, prospects, and marketing channels (web site social media sites, local newspapers, etc.)
