Gustavson School of Business was named for the fifth consecutive year to the top 100 Masters in Management Programs worldwide by Financial Times (FT) for its Master of Global Business (MGB) program.

International course experience, such as exchanges, global internships, etc., was another strength for the school, with an overall score of #28.
“We are proud to see the MGB placed for the fifth consecutive year on the FT ranking,” says Sheryl Karras, Director Administration, Pre-experience Masters Programs. “It’s gratifying to be recognized for our commitment to fostering a program where diversity is celebrated, students are offered top-quality international business experience and supported in building fulfilling careers around the globe.”
