Harvard’s Best: The Financial Times’ annual executive education survey has
ranked Harvard Business School as the best among open enrollment programs
worldwide. Seven of the top 10 institutions in the ranking are based in the
United States.
Open enrollment programs are open to all applicants, and aren’t customized
for any one company. The Center for Creative Leadership was the only leadership
school making the top 10.
Stanford University Graduate School of Business ranked second in the
category, followed by the University of Virginia, Darden, third; University of
Chicago Graduate School of Business, fourth; Switzerland-based IMD, fifth, North
Carolina-based Center for Creative Leadership, sixth; Spain’s Instituto de
Empresa, seventh; Northwestern University’s Kellogg Graduate School of
Management, eighth; Spain’s Iese Business School, ninth; and, at 10th,
Massachusetts-based Babson Executive Education. In all, 50 schools make up the
list, which was released May 14.
The annual ranking of executive education programs was based on surveys of
organizations and individuals around the world who rated the leading providers,
such as Harvard, Duke and the London School of Business, for quality and impact.
