Schulich was the only Canadian business school to make this year’s ranking and the only Canadian school to make the previous year’s ranking.
In the ranking of the world’s best business schools for “breaking into investment banking”, Schulich placed 23rd overall, up from its spot at 30 the previous year. New York-based Columbia Business School ranked first overall, with Wharton placing second and London Business School third.
In ranking 23rd, Schulich placed just behind Oxford and Cambridge, and ranked slightly ahead of Kellogg – Schulich’s Executive MBA partner school – as well as IMD and UCLA.
