Texas Executive Education a top program in Financial Times ranking

In the Financial Times’ latest ranking of executive education open enrollment programs, Texas Executive Education placed 3rd among U.S. public universities, and 13th in the nation overall. This ranking for McCombs School of Business becomes even more significant when one considers that a large majority of the programs in the survey are located outside the U.S. In fact, there are only three other U.S. public universities in this year’s Financial Times list: Michigan (Ross), Virginia (Darden), and UC-Berkeley (Haas).

Being the first year that Texas Executive Education’s open enrollment programs were evaluated in the survey, it was a very strong showing and it speaks volumes for the exceptional quality of instruction and interaction provided by McCombs faculty. Texas Executive Education’s custom programs, which are also led by top-ranked McCombs and UT faculty, have been ranked high in the Financial Times list for seven straight years now, placing 5th among U.S. public universities in the most recent results.
