Our review
Moore invented the international MBA category and never surrendered it: the IMBA’s language tracks and overseas immersions have topped the international-business specialty rankings since the 1990s. The state’s BMW-Boeing-Michelin manufacturing corridor gives the global framing local employers. U.S. News’s 18-spot 2026 jump to No. 53 mostly corrects prior noise.
