IVEY BUSINESS SCHOOL’S INTERNATIONAL RANKINGS
Dean Carol Stephenson

Ivey Business School participates in three media rankings each year: Financial Times, Business Week and the Wall Street Journal. Each ranking surveys a different stakeholder group and quantifies value from a different point of view and methodology. Overall, Ivey Business School consistently ranks among the top business schools in the world, particularly in Greater China, where Ivey Business School was the ONLY business school ranked among the world’s top 25 education institutions by all three rankings. More

My position on the rankings is that they are just one of many factors that are inputs to assessing business schools. If you are considering applying to a school, you should determine the program that best meets your learning and living style, your reasons for pursuing an EMBA/MBA degree and your career aspirations. While rankings provide summary information of how business schools compare in areas in which common elements can be measured, such as average salaries, they do not reveal the true nature of how one school differentiates itself from another. Only through class visits, speaking to alumni, current students, and recruiters, as well as thoroughly investigating the full program, extra-curricular activities and services offered can you make the right choice for you.

Wall Street Journal, Executive M.B.A. Rankings (September 2008)

This year, the Wall Street Journal decided to forgo ranking M.B.A programs in favour of ranking executive M.B.A. programs. The Wall Street Journal's first survey of executive M.B.A. programs ranks the top 25 schools that "do the best job of turning up-and-coming managers into full-fledged leaders."

Ivey was the only Canadian business school that made it into the executive M.B.A. rankings, ranking 25th out of the top 25 business schools in the world.

The Wall Street Journal's executive M.B.A. rankings are based on three components: how a school scored in a survey of E.M.B.A. students; how it fared in a survey of companies familiar with E.M.B.A. programs; and how well it imparted management and leadership skills identified as crucial in the student and company surveys.
