The top slots in the worldwide Financial Times (FT) ranking of Executive MBA (EMBA) programs have once again gone to programs involving the cooperation of several business schools. The joint program from the Kellogg School of Management and the School of Business and Management at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) landed in first place � just like two years ago. This top placement is due primarily to the highest salary of all rated EMBA programs at $345,111 USD. Apart from this, merely the order has changed for the first three places. The Trium MBA, a cooperation between the HEC in Paris, the London School of Economics and the Stern School of Business at New York University, is in second place, an improvement by one spot in contrast to last year. In first place last year, the joint "EMBA � Global Americas & Europe" from the Columbia Business School and the London Business School only came in third place this time.Kellogg once again profited the most from its partner programs in Hong Kong, Germany and Canada. The US school made it four times among the top 25. Kellogg itself came in 17th, followed by the joint program with the WHU � Otto Beisheim School of Management, which, in 18th place, can boast being the best program with German participation � despite having to forfeit six spots. |
