The top three spots in Financial Times’ 15th annual ranking went respectively to ESCP Business School, SKEMA Business School, both headquartered in France, and Tsinghua University School of Economics and Management in China. FT’s higher education rankings are known for their global diversity, with 91% of this year’s MSF programs located outside the U.S.
