Best One year MBA in Canada? Canadian Business says its Schulich

Canadian Business magazine has ranked the One year MBA program offered by the Schulich School of Business #1 in Canada in its first grading of the country’s top MBA programs in a decade.

In its Special Report MBA Guide 2013, newly released for November distribution, Canadian Business offers its first ranking of The Top 10 Canadian MBA Schools in a decade, along with editorial coverage and a comprehensive listing of Canada’s 39 MBA schools and 18 Executive MBA programs.

“Schulich is proud to have once again been ratd as offering Canada’s best MBA program,” said Dezsö J. Horváth, Dean of the Schulich School of Business. 

In September, Schulich’s MBA program was ranked #1 in the world in the field of responsible business by Corporate Knights magazine. In early October, Schulich’s MBA program was ranked #1 in Canada and among the world’s top MBA programs by The Economist and Forbes. And in the past two weeks, the Toronto-based School’s MBA program was rated the best in Canada by both Canadian Business and MBA50.com, one of the world’s largest online MBA portals.

According to Canadian Business, “Under dean Dezsö Horváth, Schulich has become a rankings darling: it competes in all the major competitions and has come out as the top Canadian school, and one of the best schools in the world, on many recent lists. Horváth himself considers rankings ‘an invaluable tool for measuring performance’.”
