Monday's Financial Times survey marks the second major global ranking this year that has rated the Kellogg-Schulich EMBA program #1 in Canada.

The Financial Times ranking is also the third straight ranking within the past month in which one of Schulich's MBA or EMBA programs has been rated #1 in Canada and, in one instance, #1 globally. Earlier this month, the school's MBA program was ranked #1 in the world in the field of responsible business by Corporate Knights magazine and its MBA program was ranked #1 in Canada by The Economist.
