Queen's MBA #1 - again!

In the most comprehensive rankings ever, Queen’s wins yet again.

2000-10-16 - KINGSTON, ON, October 16th 2000 — For the fourth consecutive year, Queen’s School of Business has topped the prestigious rankings of Canadian MBA programs by Canadian Business magazine. The annual analysis, which appears in the issue that hits newsstands this week, measures Master of Business Administration programs in a number of categories, including alumni satisfaction, GMAT scores, achievement of student career goals and improvement in graduates’ salaries. Queen’s beat out the next highest schools, York University, the University of British Columbia and The University of Western Ontario's Ivey School to earn top honours.

“Queen’s School of Business is very proud to earn the top ranking among Canadian MBA programs for the fourth straight year,” said Dr. Margot Northey, Dean of Queen’s School of Business. “The customers have spoken. It’s clear that for today’s students, nothing offers better value than a Queen’s MBA.”

Queen’s achieved an impressive distinction in the stellar reviews it garnered from its alumni — earning 100% approval from MBA graduates in satisfaction with the program, achievement of student aims and whether they would recommend the program to others.

In previous years, Canadian Business took a purely monetary approach, outlining how much further ahead – or behind – a student would be after investing in an MBA. This year, the magazine expanded its survey to include quality of education, alumni satisfaction, international and gender diversity and other factors. The result is an entirely new ranking system based on the most important considerations in shopping for an MBA.

Queen’s MBA for Science & Technology is one of many outstanding programs at Queen’s School of Business — Canada’s leading business school. Other programs include: the undergraduate Bachelor of Commerce (BCom-plus), with the highest entry standards in Canada; the market-leading Queen’s Executive MBA, the first MBA program delivered by videoconference to sites from coast to coast; the research-intensive MSc and PhD in Management programs; and the Queen’s Executive Development Centre, Canada’s leading provider of executive education.
