About 340 points separate the top school, Duke Corporate Education, from the school ranked number 70. The top 14 business schools, from Duke CE to UNC: Kenan-Flagler, form the top group of custom providers. The second group is lead by Cranfield School of Management and the third by Grenoble Graduate School of Business. The top and bottom schools in the second group are separated by 129 points; in the third group there is a 90 point gap between top and bottom.
