MBA debuts on the short list of the Top Global MBA ranking, placing 18th

Every two years Bloomberg Businessweek draws up an evaluation of recruiters, students and Faculty research abilities, creating two short lists that report the best full-time MBA programs available in the United States (Top US MBAs) and the rest of the world (Top Global MBAs) respectively. SDA Bocconi, the only Italian school, has been ranked in the Top Global MBA placing 18th (12th place among European schools). It is yet another recognition of the program's quality, the only in Italy to be on the rankings of the best MBAs from the Financial Times and The Economist.

"For the first time SDA Bocconi has been placed in important positions in all three of the leading world rankings of the best MBAs at the same time," says Valter Lazzari, Director of the program. "It's an important outcome that we hope to consolidate and maintain because it means that the quality of our MBA is visible at an international level, regardless of the evaluation system adopted."

Alberto Grando, Dean of the School, emphasizes that "this way our alumni have outstanding credentials in terms of education which they can spend anywhere in the world, no matter which of these rankings is most recognized in the various continents. It is an Italian school for global managers, in perfect harmony with its mission."
