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."

Financial Times (January 2012)
In the Financial Times 14th annual ranking of MBA programs worldwide, Ivey was ranked one of the Top 75 Schools worldwide at 68 and number 1 for placement success in Canada. Although the overall ranking is a decline compared to previous years, it is due to criteria weighted on salary and salary percent increase. Ivey, like all Canadian business schools, experienced a decline in average salaries. Ivey was also ranked among the top 10 business schools globally in two categories - Corporate Strategy and General Management.
Ivey alumni lead in Canada:
- Ivey alumni salaries continue to be the highest of all Canadian business schools. The three-year post-graduation average salary is US$100,738.
- Ivey ranked number 1 in Canada and number 34 worldwide for placement success, which measures graduate satisfaction with Career Services.
- Ivey ranked number 10 in the world for both Corporate Strategy and General Management
The criteria used in the rankings are grouped into three main areas: alumni salaries and career development (55% weighting), the diversity and international reach of the business school and its MBA program (25% weighting), and the research capabilities of each school (20% weighting). The 2008 graduating class was surveyed for this ranking.
BusinessWeek (November 2010)
On November 11th, BusinessWeek On-Line released the results of its biannual ranking of MBA programs in the US, Canada and Europe. Ivey was ranked #6 in the International ranking. Additionally Ivey received "A"s on its report card for the Career Services, Teaching and Analytical Skills categories. This ranking is based on survey responses from both current graduating students and recruiters (45% weighting each) as well as the intellectual capital produced by the business schools (10%).
Here is one student's view:
"The Ivey brand and long-term reputation in Canada is the strongest of any of the Canadian schools. The case method of learning develops stronger decision-making and leadership skills. The Ivey network is one of the best in the world. [There's a] good return on investment with the 12-month program, plus world-class professors and excellent learning facilities."
