Ranking Ivey

Dean Stephenson on the Rankings:

"Ivey 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 consistently ranks among the top business schools in the world as you can see from our summary of Ivey in the International Rankings.

While rankings provide summary information, they do not reveal the true nature of how one school differentiates itself from another. Only through class visits, First Class on the Road, speaking to alumni, current students, ambassadors 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 MBA Rankings (September 2008)
This year, the Wall Street Journal decided to forgo ranking MBA programs in favour of ranking Executive EMBA programs. The Wall Street Journal's first survey of Executive MBA 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 MBA rankings, ranking 25th out of the top 25 business schools in the world.

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