BusinessWeek magazine’s ranking of the world’s top business schools outside the UnitedStates placed Queen’s University second overall for its MBA program.

“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 as well as current students. The questionaire results counts for 90% of a school’s score, while the remaining 10% is measured by the amount of “intellectual capital” garnered by business schools via positive news coverage in prominent business journals.

“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 in a news release. “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.”
