Schulich School of Business Ranked 5th Globally In Responsible Business Among Large MBA Programs
TORONTO – Thursday, November 7, 2024 – The MBA program at York University’s Schulich School of Business was today ranked fifth globally among large MBA programs, according to the results of an annual survey conducted by Corporate Knights, one of the world’s largest circulation magazines with an explicit focus on responsible business.
Schulich placed #15 overall and also ranked as one of the top ten large schools (schools which have an average of at least 80 MBA graduates over the past two years). To determine the ranking, Corporate Knights evaluated 174 global MBAs, including programs in the 2024 Financial Times Global MBA ranking.
The ranking measured business schools using one main metric: the proportion of core courses from the MBA program that include sustainable development content ranging from environmental issues such as carbon pricing to social, ethical and diversity issues. There was also a bonus score for the percentage of a school’s recent graduates working in social impact roles or working for social impact organizations.
“Schulich is pleased to have once again been rated as one of the world’s top business schools in the field of responsible business,” said Detlev Zwick, Dean of the Schulich School of Business. “From sustainable finance and corporate governance to supply chain management, our forward-looking research and teaching is fueling business transformation across a wide range of industries and sectors.”
