IE Business School MBA, No. 3rd in the Forbes ranking

IE Business School holds the no. 3rd position worldwide in the ranking of non-US schools published by US magazine Forbes.

Published every two years, the ranking evaluates the return on investment of MBA programs five years after completion as reported by graduates from business schools worldwide. Forbes divides MBAs into 3 categories: MBAs from US Schools; non-US one-year MBAs; and non-US two-year MBAs. IE Business School holds the No. 3rd position in the non-US one-year MBA category. In order to draw up the ranking, analysts from Forbes calculated the time it took graduates to recoup their investment and how their salaries have evolved over the last 5 years, having deducted program fees and associated costs.

This year 87% of the students of IE Business School's MBA program are international, hailing from 75 countries, making it one of the most diverse MBA programs in the world. The high level of internationalization of the Madrid-based school is a result of initiatives like the IE Brown MBA Executive MBA, run jointly by IE Business School and Brown University, and which offers a unique fusion of management and the humanities. The program is aimed at professionals with more than 10 years' experience, and is designed to leverage the strength of IE Business School in the field of management education and Brown University's renowned expertise in humanistic, scientific and social disciplines.  The IE Brown Executive MBA is taught in English and combines online learning with 5 residential periods in Madrid and Providence (US).
