January 26, 2009 London— Hult International Business School joins the Financial
Times Top 100 rankings of world's best global business schools, rated 55th in the
U.S., and 97th in the world. This is the school's debut in the Financial Times Top
100 list since the rankings were established in 1999. The list includes Harvard
Business School, University of Pennsylvania Wharton, INSEAD, and London Business
School.
The Financial Times list is one of the most highly regarded rankings because it
is based on the success of the alumni of each institution in the workplace. The
ranking combines a number of measures including salary three years after graduation,
salary increase and career progress, the data for which is all supplied by the alumni
themselves. The School's inclusion in the ranking reflects its competitiveness on
all of these dimensions. However, Hult International Business School stands out
in particular in terms of international mobility, a measure of the success of its
graduates in launching an international career, ranking number 6 in the world. Hult
is also the only school in the Top 100 list to offer its MBA program in four locations
around in the world.
Bertil Hult, backer of the business school and founder of EF Education First-the
world's largest private education organization, has reiterated that, "Excellence
in education is our number one priority. Our investments have been geared towards
ensuring quality and results. The school's students, alumni, faculty, and staff
have reason to be enormously proud of the recent ranking."
"We are pleased that Hult has joined this prestigious ranking, and look forward
to working to climb even higher," says Hult's President, Dr. Stephen Hodges. "We
are committed to providing a global education so that each and everyone of our graduates
can make a significant contribution to their businesses and communities."
