The Financial Times of London yesterday ranked the Kellogg-Schulich Executive MBA (EMBA) at York University the number one EMBA program in Canada and eighth among EMBA programs based in North America or involving North American schools.
This is the seventh year that Schulich has been eligible to participate in the Financial Times ranking and the seventh straight year that the Kellogg-Schulich EMBA program has been ranked number one in Canada.
The Kellogg-Schulich EMBA program placed 26th globally in the 2013 Financial Times ranking, finishing ahead of the Stern School of Business at New York University, Columbia and Cornell, and just behind Kellogg, Oxford and 
London Business School. Among the top 10 consortia EMBAs, three belong to the Kellogg network of EMBA partner schools: Kellogg-Schulich, Kellogg-WHU Beisheim (based in Germany), and Kellogg-Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, which ranked number one in the world for the fifth straight year.

Horváth. “Today’s Financial Times result is the fifth ranking within the past three months that has rated one of our MBA or EMBA programs the best in Canada, with two of those rankings rating Schulich number one in the world.”
