Goizueta Business School Rises in International MBA Rankings

Financial Times Ranks School 19th among U.S. schools

 

ATLANTA (February 6, 2007) – In the Financial Times’ international ranking of business schools, Goizueta Business School at Emory University is ranked number 19 among U.S. schools and number 33 worldwide – up from last year’s number 25 and number 42 positions, respectively.

Dr. Steve Walton, associate professor (clinical) and interim dean and director of the MBA Program, said, “It is rewarding to be recognized by this international ranking. The ranking is the result of outstanding work by our alumni, faculty and staff over the years.”

The Financial Times ranking of full-time MBA programs assesses the value of an MBA and the schools that offer them. The rankings criteria were chosen to measure the relative strengths in three key areas: purchasing power in the marketplace, diversity of experience and the school’s research qualities.

In other rankings, The Chronicle of Higher Education recently ranked Goizueta Business School’s faculty research productivity number 2 in Finance, number 6 in Accounting, and number 10 in Marketing. Only three other business schools – Stern, Kellogg and Wharton – rank in the top ten in all three areas.

Goizueta Business School also ranks high in other rankings of faculty research productivity – number 17 globally – according to the Financial Times.

Goizueta Business School teaches students to become leaders who not only create value for their organizations, but also improve society. Founded in 1919, the school is home to an undergraduate degree program, a full-time MBA program, an evening MBA program, the W. Cliff Oxford Executive MBA program, and a doctoral degree program, together with a set of innovative non-degree executive development programs.
