Strathclyde Business School has been included in the ranking by Poets & Quants for the first time. This ranking equally weights the latest rankings by the Financial Times (2013), U.S. News & World Report (2014), BusinessWeek (2013), and The Economist (2013). Three of these four rankings are global, mixing U.S. and non-U.S. schools. Only the U.S. News’ ranking is based solely on U.S. programmes.
Only EMBA programmes that won recognition from at least two of the four ranking systems are included in the ranking. That eliminates programmes that are more likely to get on a single list as a result of an anomaly or of flawed methodology, though in a minority of cases some schools can choose not to participate in a ranking.
