Top Ranking for HKUST-Kellogg Program
For the first time, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) topped an international ranking of executive MBA programs (EMBA).
The program, which is run in partnership with the Kellogg School of Management, was ranked first in the Financial Times' Global EMBA rankings.
It is listed as number one for "work experience" of its participants, number two in "international faculty" and number three in "international students."
Professor Leonard Cheng, Acting Dean of HKUST Business School, said: "This is an important milestone in Hong Kong as it is also the first time commercial education in Hong Kong has ranked globally as number one."
The program was launched in 1998 as a unique East-West partnership to offer the best managed education for international talent based in Asia.
HKUST's EMBA program first made it onto the Financial Times' global rankings in 2003, when it was placed ninth. It reached second place in 2005 and was ranked third in 2006.
The Financial Times rankings table includes 90 EMBA programs. Evaluation is based on the quality of alumni, school and program quality and the research capability of faculty.
