They only rank the first 25 and list the rest. If a program doesn’t appear there, good chance they don’t participate.

Found it quite interesting since the rankings varied a decent amount from the QuantNet rankings, so here's their methodology (provided it was for their 2023 rankings, but I don't believe they changed it):

5% – Average class size;
10% – Acceptance rate;
10% – Percentage of offer-holders who enroll;
5% – Ratio between students and lecturers;
10% – Number of industry-affiliated lecturers over the total number of lecturers;
30% – Employment rate in finance sector six months after graduation;
5% – Number of citations for the five most cited lecturers in the past four years; and
25% – Average salary six months after graduation, adjusted for the purchasing power conversion factor provided by the World Bank.
