Financial Times EMBA 2005 Global Ranking

By: Jolie Hunt

NEW YORK, Oct. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- The Financial Times today announces
their annual ranking of international executive MBA programs.  The Wharton
school at the University of Pennsylvania has topped the ranking for the fifth
year in a row, with Hong Kong UST Business School, London Business School,
Instituto de Empresa and Duke University rounding out the top five,
respectively.

In the Financial Times EMBA 2005 ranking, the biggest indicator for the
success of a program is its location. Because participants study for an EMBA
without giving up their jobs, those schools in big cities have a larger pool
of applicants from which to draw. As a result, nine of the top 10 schools in
the ranking draw their students from London, New York, Chicago, Hong Kong or
Madrid; with four of the top eleven programs taught in London. Ranked number
three in the world is London Business School, followed in sixth place by the
University of Chicago, which relocated its European campus to the City of
London from Barcelona earlier this year, the Cass Business School at City
University ranked tenth and Imperial College's Tanaka school eleventh.  US
schools rounded out the ranking's top ten with Columbia Business School at
seven, Northwestern University's Kellogg at eight, and New York University's
Stern at nine.
    
Hong Kong UST ranks second in the world this year, the highest a Chinese
school has ranked in any Financial Times business school ranking. The China
European International Business School (Ceibs), in Shanghai, has also moved up
from 20 to 13 this year, underscoring the increasing credibility of Chinese
business schools on the international stage.  In China, the ranking is
available in Chinese at http://www.FTChinese.com.
    
The extraordinary appetite for these senior manager degrees in China means
that Ceibs runs the largest EMBA operation in the world, with 550 executives
enrolling on its programs in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzen every year. The
ranking of the top 75 global EMBA programs includes 42 schools in the US and
22 in Europe, of which 11 are in the UK. There are four schools from Canada
and three from China.

 About the methodology

The ranking is based on the data collated from two sets of questionnaires
-- one for the business schools and the second for alumni who have been in the
workplace for three years since graduation.
    
Of the 7,000 alumni who were contacted about the ranking this year,
3,000 completed the online questionnaire, a response rate of 43 per cent. The
growing popularity of EMBA programs meant that this year 95 business schools
that took part in the survey, compared with just 88 last year. Out of these 95
schools, 85 had a sufficient response rate (20 per cent of alumni and a
minimum of 20 responses in total) to be considered for the ranking of the top
75 programs. Full detail of the methodology can be found online at
