The University of Ottawa’s Telfer Executive MBA program has been named the world’s No. 1 Global Executive MBA program for the second year in a row, as ranked by CEO Magazine earlier this month.
The system used to generate the rankings of post-secondary schools across the globe was weighted by fact-based criteria such as quality of faculty, class size, price of education and other factors.
Sophia Leong, executive director of Telfer’s Executive MBA program, appeared in a video to deliver the news to the school’s alumni community last week.
