MONTREAL, Oct. 8, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - The HEC Montréal MBA took first place in the ranking of the top 10 programs in the country by Canadian Business, for its market value. In terms of reputation it ranked first in Quebec and fifth in Canada as a whole.
Canada's business magazine conducts an annual survey of MBA programs and uses the qualitative and quantitative data it collects to rank them in terms of reputation and value.
The reputational ranking is based exclusively on the results of a qualitative survey of 1,000 MBA students and graduates, parents, HR professionals and corporate recruiters. The value ranking looks at both qualitative and quantitative data and reflects different criteria, weighted as follows: 33.5% for reputation; 20.5% for classroom experience (student-teacher ratio and cohort diversity); 13% for average GMAT scores; 13% for tuition fees (lower is better); 13% for required work experience (more is better); and 7% for program length (shorter is better).
"We are obviously delighted to have taken first place, as it is a tribute to the success of our graduates and the education they received at HEC Montréal. Above all, this ranking commits us to keep constantly innovating and improving, to meet the growing demands of our students, with more and more of them coming from around the globe every year," emphasizes Louis Hébert, Director of the MBA and EMBA McGill — HEC Montréal programs.
