IE Continues to Climb the Rankings Ladder
I know that MBA rankings are a controversial subject in the business education community. The reality is that the rankings do have an affect on the marketability of the degree, so being a student in a well ranked program I’m certainly glad that Instituto de Empresa continues to climb.
If it weren’t for the Financial Times MBA Rankings chances are I would not be in IE’s Global MBA today. When I was researching which schools to apply to back in 2005, I noticed on FT’s rankings a school in Spain called the Instituto de Empresa.
At first I was very skeptical about “online��? programs. As a matter of fact I didn’t really want anything to do with them. Looking at what IE was calling at the time Global Communities MBA, which offered a blended program with online interaction supported by face-to-face events around the world, my opinion started to change.
When I contacted IE for more information I was engaged by David Standen, who at the time was organizing/marketing this new program. His enthusiasm for the school and for the program was contagious.
To say the least, I’m extremely happy with the experience and am very aware that it is life changing. I now have great friends all over the world from Colombia to Venezuela to South Africa to Spain to Germany to Saudi Arabia to Jordan to Russia to India to China to Hong Kong…
Congratulations IE on moving up to:
- 1st in Spain
- 3rd in the Europe
- 11th in the World
