When it comes to business school, name matters. The top business schools in PayScale's College Salary Report are all names you've most likely heard of if you've done any kind of research.

Harvard is in good company with UPenn's Wharton School of Business, Stanford, MIT, the University of California at Berkeley and Columbia.

When we focus on alumni with less work experience (zero to five years), the Sloane School of Business at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is a winner.
