Global Top 25 Executive MBA School Rankings 2014 for Experienced Managers and Senior Executives
In a ranking announced today of the top 25 global Executive M.B.A. Programs from nearly 100 business schools surveyed, some 38,364 graduates, alumni, and recruiters completed the survey – a response rate of 67 percent to determine the strongest executive MBA programs.
The rankings are based on a number of factors including the value for money, salary boost, classroom experience, international spread of students, and how it holds up in the eyes of companies. The corporate survey, which was sent to 845 companies representing 21 industries, yielded a more typical response rate of 31 percent. Surprisingly, 100 schools ended up being eligible for the ranking, of which only 25 were actually ranked. Thus, while we believe these are 25 excellent schools for Executive MBA, like any ranking, it’s not the whole picture.
