(January 24 – 09:45 ET) – The Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario has been ranked 19th in the Financial Times’ annual survey of the top 75 business schools worldwide.
The Ivey School’s top competitors ranked 41st – the University of Toronto, 45th -York University and 49th – McGill University. No other Canadian schools made the list.
“We have invested heavily in our goal to become a leading provider of management education, both in terms of the value our programs offer our students and in the support of our faculty’s innovative research. We are certainly proud of our top 20 standing and the credibility it brings to our reputation as one of the world’s leading business schools,” says Lawrence Tapp, Ivey’s dean.
The schools are rated on the value and quality of an MBA program in the marketplace, diversity and research. The results are based on two separate questionnaires, one sent to the business schools themselves and one sent to over 20,000 alumni.
Ivey’s MBA program was rated as the best value among the top 25 North American business schools and it was the only Canadian school ranked among the top 25 schools for research.
