KUBS (Dean: Jae Wook Kim) E-MBA was ranked 27th in the Executive MBA Ranking 2019 by the UK Financial Times. According to the FT, KUBS E-MBA was ranked 27th this year, after being 38th last year, marking the first in the national level for the ninth consecutive year. For the last three years, KUBS E-MBA was ranked 28th on average (20th in 2017, 38th in 2018 and 27th in 2019), proving that its curriculum which is focused on practice in different industries was top-notch.
Its rank is higher than those of world's most prestigious business schools, including Columbia Business School (36th), UCLA: Anderson (42nd), and Cornell University: Johnson (46th). This year, HEC Paris was ranked first, followed by Kellogg/HKUST Business School. Among Korean universities, Yonsei University was ranked 34th.
The FT rankings are based on various evaluation categories such as salary increase rate, promotion rate, faculty with doctorates, and internationalization index; it announces the rankings of the world's top 100 E-MBA programs every year. For this year's evaluation, KUBS E-MBA received high marks in such categories as salary increase rate, aims achieved and faculty with doctorates.
KUBS E-MBA stands out clearly, because it was ranked in the top place while being a program run by a single university only. Many E-MBA programs at top-ranked Asian universities operate joint degree programs, and KUBS E-MBA remains competitive nonetheless.
