In the 2024 Global Executive MBA Rankings by QS (Quacquarelli Symonds), the Executive MBA program at the Georgia Tech Scheller College of Business ranked No. 1 in Georgia, No. 19 in the U.S., and No. 48 globally out of nearly 200 business schools.
Schools were ranked based on five performance lenses:
- Employer reputation (30%)
- Academic reputation (25%)
- Career progression (20%)
- Executive profile (15%)
- Class diversity (10%)
In addition, the ranking also considered:
- Executive profile: Average years' work experience, managerial experience and C-suite experience
- Career progression: Salary change after graduation, percentage of students promoted within a year of graduation
- Diversity: Representation of women within a class cohort and the number of nationalities among a program’s students
Data was collected from two surveys: the QS Global Employer Survey and the QS Academic Survey. The information was gathered from five years of data with recent data having more weight.
"Achieving the top ranking in Georgia and securing a place among the best executive MBA programs globally is a testament to the exceptional quality of our students, faculty, curriculum, and network,” said Manpreet Hora, senior associate dean for programs. “We are proud of the impact our graduates are making in a globally connected business world driven by technology.”
