Rotman MBA Ranks 4th in the World for Value For Money and Top 10 Among Public Universities According to Financial Times
TORONTO, January 21, 2002 -- The MBA program at the University of Toronto's Joseph L. Rotman School of Management is among the top five schools in the world for value for money according to a ranking of MBA programs published today in the Financial Times. The survey says the Rotman MBA is 4th in the world for value for money, the rate of return for each dollar spent by a student between the start of the MBA to three years after graduation. Rotman was also rated 8th among business schools at public universities, only behind such prestigious competitors as the Haas School at the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Michigan Business School. For the third consecutive year, the Rotman School placed in the top ten schools for finance based on alumni recommendations. Overall Rotman placed 31st among the 100 business schools in the world that were ranked by the Financial Times, up a significant 15 spots from last year. "The results are reflective of the incredible growth that we've seen at the Rotman School over the past three years," says Dean Roger Martin. "We added a third section to the Rotman MBA program in September 2001 without sacrificing our high standards. We have also hired some of the best young professors who have had an immediate impact on Rotman's teaching and research activities enabling us to expand the PhD program. There has also been continued growth in the career recruiting services for our MBA students." The Financial Times survey also included a profile of the Rotman School. Click here to view it. Each year the Financial Times provides a comprehensive assessment of the value of an MBA and the business schools that provide them. The ranking of the best MBA programs is complied from two questionnaires, one for the business school and the other for the MBA class of three years previously, and from an independent assessment of research. Complete results of the Financial Times survey can be found at http://specials.ft.com/businesseducation/index.html. The University of Toronto's Joseph L. Rotman School of Management offers leading-edge research and degree programs, including the prestigious Rotman MBA, the newly redesigned Part-Time MBA, the Executive MBA, a first-rate Doctoral Program, the distinctive Master of Management & Professional Accounting program, the undergraduate Commerce program in partnership with the Faculty of Arts and Science, combined programs with the University of Toronto faculties of Law, Engineering and Nursing, and an innovative series of Executive Programs tailored to the current needs of businesses and individual managers.
