View of LBS in the US

For those of us terribly behind on our non-US university acronyms... what's it stand for?

That's a top MBA anywhere LBSMBA.

London Business School - Highly Prestigious!

London School of Economics is very good, dunno about LBS.

From what I've heard, LSE > LBS. They're both part of the University of London, but it seems like all the colleges that fall under the University are treated as individual schools. I guess it's because the school system is just huge.

LSE doesn't have an MBA program.

LBS is by far the most respected MBA in Europe and has a strong reputation in the US.

LSE only has masters programs in finance and management

INSEAD and IMD are decent as well

This is incorrect. LSE and universities like UCL and Kings are all part of ULU but LBS is it's own school and only offers post graduate studies. They all fall under the ULU umbrella because historically they all had a specific focus (Imperial = Science, LSE = Econ and Politics etc) but for organisational purposes they merged to have one admin etc.

INSEAD is as good as, if not better than LBS in Europe.

For the record, LBS is also part of the University of London.

Fair play, I'm wrong. I went to LSE and we never heard of or thought of LBS as being part of ULU. I think it is because the campuses are dispersed across the city. Thanks for pointing it out.

You guys have it all wrong.

Richmond College, The American International University of London, is the most prestigious school in Europe.

Most of the students are spelling bee champions and most of the professors are rocket scientists (irrespective to what subject they teach).

very nich bullshit...LBS is the top management school along with insead. many view it as a "branch" of the University of Chicago business school and thus it may be more recognized in the US. but really it's a class higher than LSE and the like...
