Today’s results added another record-high ranking for Schulich during a year in which the school was rated number one in Canada by both Forbes and the Economist Intelligence Unit, the business research and intelligence research arm of The Economist magazine, and ranked number one in Canada and among the top six schools in the world in the field of corporate social responsibility by the World Resources Institute and the Aspen Institute. The Economist Intelligence Unit ranked Schulich 22nd in the world (Schulich was the only Canadian school to make their Top 50), while Forbes ranked Schulich 6^th in the world outside the US in its international ranking.

Schulich is the only school in Canada to record 5 consecutive year-over-year improvements in ranking results in the Financial Times survey (Schulich ranked 45^th in 2000; 35^th in 2001; 31^st in 2002; 26^th in 2003; and 22^nd in 2004).

• Schulich graduates are among the world’s most internationally mobile alumni. Schulich was ranked #8 in the category of international mobility, which measures the global employment movements of alumni between graduation and the present.

• Schulich finished first in the world among regular two-year MBA programs in the Financial Times "Value for Money" category (both IMD and Insead, which placed ahead of Schulich, are one-year programs). The "Value For Money" category is a Return on Investment (ROI) measurement that calculates the "rate of return" for each dollar spent by students between the start of the MBA to three years after graduation. Earlier this year, Schulich was ranked number two in the world by Forbes magazine in its "Years To Pay Back" category, a similar category for measuring return on investment.

"We’re very pleased to have done so well in one of most rigorous and comprehensive MBA surveys in the world," said Schulich Dean Dezsö J. Horváth, who was last week named the 2004 Dean of the Year by the Academy of International Business (AIB), the world’s leading association of scholars in the field of international business, with approximately 3,000 members in 65 countries around the world. "Today’s ranking, together with all of the other major rankings of the past year, clearly place Schulich as one of the top schools in Canada, among the top ten in the world outside of the U.S., and among the top 20 in North America."

Known as Canada’s Global Business School™, the Schulich School of Business is ranked 22^nd in the world by both the Financial Times of London and the Economist Intelligence Unit, the business research and intelligence arm of The Economist magazine, in their annual rankings of the world’s top 100 MBA programs. Schulich is also ranked as one of the top ten schools in the world outside the U.S. by Forbes, BusinessWeek, the Economist Intelligence Unit and the Financial Times, and ranked among the top six schools in the world in the field of corporate social responsibility by the World Resources Institute and the Aspen Institute.

It offers business degrees at the undergraduate, graduate, post-graduate and executive education levels. These include Canada’s first International MBA (IMBA), as well as North America’s first ever cross-border Executive MBA degree, the Joint Kellogg-Schulich Executive MBA.
