Since 2004, the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) global indexes of quality in higher education, published annually from its headquarters in the United Kingdom, are one of the most authoritative and methodologically rigorous sources in the world for measuring the presence, results and prestige of universities around the world, based on the study of their students, academics and recent graduates.
In this sense, its global comparative measurement of MBA programs is an indispensable reference, providing the most complete and detailed overview of higher education in business and management in the world. Therefore, it is with great pride Incaísta that we share with our INCAE Business School community the excellent results achieved by our institution as one of the best MBA programs in the world and in the Latin American region.
By obtaining the 94th position in the QS Global World University Rankings, INCAE ranked among the top 100 MBA programs in the world, and in the Top 3 in Latin America. Worldwide, the methodology included 286 academic programs in 45 countries, 53,792 employers, as well as 42,639 academics and 27,831 graduates, which allows us to measure the intense competitiveness, diversity and methodological rigor of the study, which, according to the digital analysis portal Alexa Internet (Amazon), is the most searched, consulted and referenced list of universities by Internet users around the world.
To benchmark MBA programs, QS looks at five global criteria: employability and reputation in the graduate labor market; return on investment (ROI) of the program's alumni investment; entrepreneurship and performance of the graduate community; leadership; and, finally, diversity of gender, backgrounds and nationalities among both faculty and student body.
Considering these five sections, according to the methodology used, INCAE Business School ranks in the top 33% of the 286 programs evaluated. It is in the sections of Employability and Entrepreneurship and performance where the results have been most outstanding, placing INCAE, with 20 and 9 percentage points above the global average respectively. At the regional level, the leadership is clear and irrefutable, since in four of the five sections, our institution is in the top 20% of best results.
We warmly congratulate every member of the Incaísta community, from our world-class faculty to our alumni and graduate community for being active participants in a result that fills us with pride and allows us to envision ever-higher goals, at an ever-increasing level of leadership. Congratulations to our community!
