For Immediate Release
TRIUM Global Executive MBA ranks 2nd worldwide
in the Financial Times
Paris, New York, London– October 21st, 2009: The TRIUM Global Executive MBA
Program has been ranked 2nd in the world (95 programs are listed) by the Financial Times
annual Executive MBA ranking, in only its fourth year of participation.
For the second year running, TRIUM is also ranked 1st in the world for “aims achieved”, a
criteria that measures the extent to which alumni fulfilled their most important goals or reasons
for doing an EMBA. TRIUM ranked 2nd in salaries, another measure of career progress, and 1st
as a choice for international commuter students.
Each year, the Financial Times survey evaluates Executive MBA programs offered by business
schools from all over the world. The study assesses the career progress of alumni three years
after program completion (this year, the class of 2006), the academic excellence of the faculty
and the program’s international scope.
According to Dean Thomas F. Cooley of NYU Stern School of Business, “We have
developed the TRIUM Global Executive MBA program to provide corporations with a valuable
professional development opportunity for their employees, help firms retain their most talented
people and position companies for successful global business leadership”.
Howard Davies, Director of the London School of Economics and Political Science added
“We believe that TRIUM students gain a unique grasp of the ways in which social, political
and economic policy impact on every aspect of how modern companies and organizations
operate across the globe.”
Launched in September 2001, TRIUM was the first executive MBA program to provide an
authentically global curriculum and educational experience, made possible through a unique
alliance between three world-renowned universities: New York University Stern School of
Business (NYU Stern), the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), and
HEC Paris.
“This 2nd position worldwide confirms the uniqueness of the TRIUM program design and the
exceptional quality of the students and the faculty. The results also demonstrate the successful
and innovative academic cooperation among three leading schools” said Dean Bernard
Ramanantsoa of HEC Paris.
