Queen’s scored high marks for the reputation of their students among employers. “Recruiters love them,” said a BusinessWeek reporter hosting the online forum in which the rankings were revealed.
BusinessWeek’s methodology involves scoring the results of questionnaires sent to business school recruiters (45% weighting) and graduating MBA students (45% weighting), as well as an analysis of the “intellectual capital” garnered by business schools through faculty publications in 18 key academic and practitioner journals (10% weighting).
“Two crucial audiences have spoken — our students and the people who hire them — and what they’ve told BusinessWeek loud and clear is that the Queen’s MBA is first in the class,” said David Saunders, Dean of Queen’s School of Business. “This unprecedented #1 ranking sends a clear message to employers across Canada and around the world.”
In noting the number of Canadian schools in the ranking, Dean Saunders added, “To see four Canadian schools in BusinessWeek’s top 10 is a testament to the tremendous quality of business education in this country – something we can all be proud of.”
The Top 10 business schools outside of the US as ranked by BusinessWeek magazine are listed at the end of this article.
