Saunders makes CEO Magazine's Global MBA Rankings

Saunders’ MBA, EMBA, and Online MBA programs have been ranked among the best in North America and in the world by CEO Magazine. Saunders’ MBA Program is in the top tier of programs in North America, the online program is number 25 globally, and the Executive MBA Program sits at number 35 globally. 

Saunders has remained in CEO magazine’s top tier of schools for 8 years in a row, and the online and executive programs have both jumped up in rankings since last year. This speaks to Saunders’ expert faculty and other favorable criteria considered in the ranking.
