The Economist: Purdue EMBA programs rank among top in world
Monday, July 2, 2018
Our Executive MBA programs are two of the top 50 Executive MBA programs in the world, according to The Economist’s Which MBA? 2018 ranking, and is one of only four schools to have multiple programs featured on the list.
The Purdue Executive MBA program is ranked #47 in the world, and the Purdue IMM Global EMBA Program is #42, up from #51 in the publication’s previous ranking (2015).
Krannert’s programs scored highest at Gender Balance (#3, IMM program); percentage increase on pre-EMBA salary after two years (#11, IMM program); and managerial work experience (#17, Purdue EMBA).
The Economist ranked 65 EMBA programs. Programs had to be part-time and at least 50% campus-based. The ranking is based on personal development and educational experience, which measures quality of students and faculty and programs, along with student diversity, and career development, which measures career progression, salary and networking.
The Economist surveyed recent graduates of each program. The percentage of Purdue EMBA students who have been promoted or grown their own company since graduation was 80 percent, with the IMM Global EMBA student rate at 73 percent. Both programs showed high return on investment: IMM Global EMBA students saw better than a 44 percent increase on their pre-EMBA salary after one year, with Purdue EMBA graduates seeing close to a 31 percent increase after a year.
