Financial Times Global MBA classification: 金融时报万国 MBA TOP 100

Sometimes I wonder if at the time when I decided to join my IMBA program, if it would be worthy or not. It is very difficult to say even now after two years have gone by.

Every once in a while, some famous famous business newspapers around the world, make their own classification for the world TOP MBA programs. This year, the UK's leading business newspaper, Financial Times, published it's Global TOP 100 for the year 2008. The schools were audited by KPMG on a 20+ categories and here are the results for the first 5:

Rank in 2008 Business school name Country Weighted salary (US$)
1 University of Pennsylvania: Wharton U.S.A. 165859
2 London Business School U.K. 144918
3 Columbia Business School U.S.A. 165123
4 Stanford University GSB U.S.A. 167225
5 Harvard Business School U.S.A. 162316

This year, the University of South Carolina, Moore School of Business's IMBA program was rewarded the 55th place, 17 positions higher than in 2007.
It is something that makes me very proud, that the school was ranked 1st in the world in the International Experience rank, basically the main reason for why I've chosen the school. Great to know that such an impressive financial institution is saying that. It makes me very happy!
