The Financial Times of London has this week ranked the Kellogg-Schulich Executive MBA (EMBA) at York University the No. 1 EMBA program in Canada and 20th globally.
The Financial Times ranking marks the 10th straight year that the Kellogg-Schulich EMBA program has been ranked No. 1 in Canada and it is the third consecutive global ranking released this week that has rated Schulich No. 1 in Canada (The Economist) or No. 1 in the world (Corporate Knights).
“We’re proud to have once again been rated the No. 1 EMBA program in Canada, among the top five in North America, and one of the top 20 in the world,” said Schulich Dean Dezsö J. Horváth. “Ever since the Kellogg-Schulich EMBA program was established, it has been ranked number No. 1 in Canada by every single major global survey.”
The Kellogg-Schulich EMBA program was ranked 20th globally and placed fifth among programs based in North America (jointly with Duke) in this year’s Financial Times ranking. The Kellogg-Schulich EMBA program finished ahead of the Kellogg School of Management, IMD and Columbia, and just behind London Business School, Wharton, Cambridge and Chicago.
Among Canadian-based programs, the Kellogg-Schulich EMBA placed ahead of the EMBA programs delivered by the Cornell-Queen’s EMBA, which ranked 47th; the Rotman School of Management, which ranked 53rd; the Ivey EMBA, which ranked 58th; and the Queen’s EMBA, which ranked 80th.
