The Financial Times released its Executive MBA (EMBA) Ranking 2024 on Oct 14, with Chinese programs claiming four of the top 10 positions. The China Europe International Business School Global EMBA ascended to first place, the Washington University-Fudan University EMBA secured third, the "SNAI-ASU EMBA" program by Shanghai National Accounting Institute and the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University ranked seventh, and the Fudan EMBA achieved 10th.

This year, the majority of all China-led EMBA programs are prominently featured in the first and second tiers (ranked 10th to 44th). Remarkably, all four programs from Fudan University's School of Management entered the global top 30, making it the only business school on the list with such a distinction.

The strong presence of Sino-foreign joint EMBA programs in the global top 10 rankings underscores the immense value of cross-continental, cross-cultural, and interdisciplinary collaborations in business education.

Wang Hong, dean of CEIBS, celebrated the achievement of CEIBS Global EMBA's number-one ranking as a significant milestone. Over the years, the program has developed numerous global managers with international perspectives and cross-cultural management skills, greatly enhancing economic and cultural exchanges between China and the world.

Professor Lu Wenbin, dean of the Shanghai National Accounting Institute, highlighted the 20-year Sino-American educational partnership with Arizona State University's W.P. Carey School of Business as a vital platform for ongoing interaction among academics, managers, and entrepreneurs. This collaboration fosters knowledge sharing and experience exchange, driving innovation and development in their respective fields.
