Queen’s MBA ranked top in Canada by Canadian Business

In October, Canadian Business magazine ranked Queen’s full-time program as the top MBA in Canada. The Canadian Business “Top 10” MBA ranking for 2014 focused on value for money, citing “a big return on investment” as the key reason the Queen’s program secured the No. 1 spot on the list.

The magazine, which is the oldest business publication in Canada, recently reintroduced its annual ranking of domestic MBA programs. Factors evaluated include reputation, salary increase of graduates and the classroom experience.

“We’re always pleased when our outstanding MBA programs are recognized for their strengths,” said Dean David Saunders when the results were released Oct. 2, 2014. “We know that rankings, along with overall student experience, quality of faculty and reputation of the school, are all factors that prospective applicants consider when selecting an MBA program.”

To calculate the reputation element of the ranking, independent research firm Compass surveyed MBA graduates and corporate recruiters for their opinions on Canadian business schools. The balance of the ranking was calculated using data submitted by the schools themselves, and included student GMAT scores, tuition, student-teacher ratio and diversity, required work experience and pre- and post-program salaries. Five Canadian universities chose not to participate in the full ranking process this year.
