FIU’s Executive MBA ranked among the best programs in the world
MIAMI, FL (Oct. 24, 2007) – The Financial Times has released this year’s global ranking of Executive Masters of Business Administration programs and Florida International University Chapman Graduate School of Business’ ranked 81st in the world, and 37th among U.S. graduate schools of business.
University of Miami and University of Florida’s programs were the only other Florida EMBAs ranked, at number 83 and 84 respectively. The ranking includes some of the best-known business schools in the United States, as well as throughout Europe, China, Canada and Brazil.
The Financial Times conducts two sets of surveys to compile its lists; one is completed by alumni, the other by business school officials.
More than 8,000 alumni from 107 programs were contacted for this year’s ranking and more than half completed the online questionnaires. Officials from 107 business schools around the world responded to the survey. The Financial Times collected data related to alumni salary and career progression since earning the EMBA, work experience and position within the company.
Other criteria include the quality of the faculty, diversity within each school, the number of articles published by the faculty and the selectivity of each program.
“We continue to get excellent feedback from our alumni as well as from the business community,” said Executive Dean of the FIU College of Business Administration (CBA) Joyce J. Elam. “We are pleased to be ranked by The Financial Times for the second consecutive year.”
FIU’s CBA enjoys a national and global reputation in international business education at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. For the past four years, U.S. News & World Report has included the college in the top fifteen in its rankings of the nation’s best undergraduate international business programs, listing, it in the top 10 three times. The same magazine ranked the college’s graduate international business programs among the nation’s top 25. FIU’s business programs also have been ranked in Business Week, América Economía, Latin Trade, Fortune Small Business, Hispanic Business and Hispanic Trends, among others.
