European 1-Year MBA programs turn out to beat the US 2-Year programs when it comes to return of investment (ROI). 

This is the result of Forbes' new MBA ranking, published 9 October 2013. In contrast to MBA rankings from Financial Times, Businessweek, US News, or The Economist, Forbes ranks the schools based on alumni salaries 5 years from graduating. Find here our article "Comparison of MBA Ranking Methodologies".
