The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology's Executive MBA program, taught in conjunction with the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University, ranks No. 3 in the world in this year's Financial Times EMBA global rankings.
In addition to a strong showing in the overall ranking, the program is also listed among the world's top ten in many specific categories. It is No. 2 in "international faculty" and No. 4 in "aims achieved" which indicates the extent to which alumni fulfilled their most important goals in completing an EMBA.
As in the previous three years, the program's student diversity was ranked No. 1 in the world. It is No. 2 in "most experienced intake". Participants in the program are high earners and they top the charts in overall salaries and salaries in consulting. The Financial Times describes their international experience as "impressive" as "54% of respondents from the Kellogg-HKUST program had worked in three or more countries prior to the EMBA."
The partnership EMBA program has been ranked in the top 10 in the paper's annual survey since it entered the rankings in 2003. The Financial Times describes the HKUST Business School as "one of the most respected business schools in Asia."
