BusinessWeek ranks Queen's MBA 1st in Canada
February 26, 2007
2002-10-11 - October 11, 2002 – Queen’s MBA for Science & Technology is the best MBA in Canada and the second-ranked international school, according to BusinessWeek magazine’s influential ranking of the world’s top schools outside the United States.
"This school [Queen’s] placed first among all non-US schools with corporate recruiters who loved the way the program turns scientists and engineers into well-rounded managers," said a BusinessWeek reporter hosting the online forum during which the rankings were revealed.
BusinessWeek’s methodology involved scoring the results of questionnaires sent to business school recruiters (45% weighting) and recent graduates (45% weighting), as well as an analysis of the “intellectual capital” garnered by business schools via positive news coverage in some 18 key business journals (10% weighting).
“What’s most gratifying about getting top marks from BusinessWeek is that it’s primarily due to the very high satisfaction we’ve earned from two key groups: Queen’s MBAs and the people who hire them,” said Salman Mufti, program director of Queen’s MBA for Science & Technology. “Queen’s MBA students are very focused on the future value of their degrees, and that’s why we’re so delighted to be ranked among the best in the world.”
The Top 10 business schools outside of the US as ranked by BusinessWeek magazine are:
1. INSEAD (Twin campuses in Singapore and Fontainebleau, France)
2. Queen's School of Business (Kingston, Ontario)
3. IMD (Lausanne, Switzerland)
4. London Business School (London, UK)
5. University of Toronto (Toronto, Ontario) 6. University of Western Ontario (London, Ontario)
7. HES Rotterdam Business School (Rotterdam, The Netherlands)
8. IESE (Barcelona, Spain)
9. HEC (Paris, France)
10. York University (Toronto, Ontario)
The complete results of BusinessWeek’s 2002 business school rankings will be published in the October 21, 2002 issue and are available online at www.businessweek.com/bschools
