The School of Management at the University of Texas at Dallas (UTO) released the study Feb. 8. One hundred business schools were ranked, with the Kelley School ranking 10th among publicly supported institutions, 24th worldwide and 23rd in North America.

The study, titled “The UTD Top 100 Business School Research Rankings,” tracked the publications of business school faculty worldwide since 1990 in 22 leading academic journals, all of which are peer-reviewed. It then ranked the business schools based on the number of articles published in those journals by their faculty members between 2000-2004.

“We are certainly pleased to see that the University of Texas at Dallas project confirms that, collectively, our faculty’s research productivity places us among the top 25 in the world and in the top 10 among public schools in the United States,” said Dan Smith, interim dean of the Kelley School. “At the same time, we are working on a number of initiatives that should further elevate our research productivity in the future and thus ensure that Kelley remains one of the world’s great business schools.”

In addition to IU, Purdue was ranked 26th worldwide and 24th in North America; and the University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza School was ranked 40th worldwide and 37th in North America. The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and the Harvard Business School were ranked first and second in both the North American and the worldwide lists.

A database of the study’s rankings of both the top 100 North American business schools and the top 100 business schools worldwide is published on the Web site of UTD’s Center for Information Technology and Management:
