According to a ranking by Poets & Quants, Booth School of Business offers the world’s top EMBA program. The Chicago-based program moved up from No. 2, trumping the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, which held the No. 1 spot for the past three years. Booth’s metro neighbor, Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, retained its No. 3 position.
Poets & Quants credited Booth’s boost in ranking to a “significant overhaul to its executive MBA program last year,” which included increased elective requirements and new leadership exercises.
Booth’s EMBA program starts in June and lasts 21 months. Over that time you’ll take 17 courses and 3-5 electives in the following available tracks: Capital Markets, Corporate Finance, Entrepreneurship, Marketing, Strategy, and Leadership and Management.
Booth describes the EMBA Program as “Pure Chicago”:
“You’ll experience what makes Chicago Booth unique—our culture of inquiry and innovation. Relentless curiosity. Fiercely independent thought. Vigorous dialogue. Colleagues and faculty who challenge you. To question conventional wisdom. To generate new insights. To uncover compelling evidence.”
Poets & Quants ranked 48 EMBA programs using a composite score based on how schools fared on EMBA lists created by Bloomberg BusinessWeek, the Economist, the Financial Times and U.S. News & World Report.
