Financial Times 2006 Ranking

Wellesley, MA -- Babson Executive Education has once again been ranked among the world’s top 10 providers in multiple categories according to rankings released today by the Financial Times.

Babson’s Custom Programs were ranked:

#8 worldwide overall
#7 in the U.S.
#8 worldwide in the faculty category.

Babson’s Open Enrollment programs were ranked:

#11 worldwide overall
#2 in the faculty category.

This year marks the paper’s eight year of surveys ranking international non-degree executive education open enrollment and custom programs. Open enrollment programs are courses that are open to all, while custom programs are tailor made to put executives through specific training or development. Schools must have more than $2m of business in either category to participate. Forty-six schools and almost 4,000 program participants completed the open enrollment survey. Fifty-eight schools and almost 450 corporate clients completed the custom survey. A combined rank is produced for schools in both.

Business Week Ranks Babson World Class

In it's most recent 2003 survey of executive education programs Business Week Magazine has ranked Babson's custom executive programs as 10th among all of the world’s executive development providers. In its article BW names Babson one of the “top providers of tailor-made executive programs for companies.” This high praise is particularly satisfying because the rankings are based on surveys from directors of executive development at major companies whose resulting opinions represent some of the most experienced buyers in the market for such programs.
