FYMBA Rising Stars 2010
01. IE Business School
( 11 Votes )
A newcomer to the Rising Stars, the IE Business School is recognized as one of the leading global institutions in its field. Its urban campus in Madrid provides a stimulating learning environment for a multi-cultural population which hails from eighty-eight countries across the world. The school's faculty boasts four hundred professors, who teach at Masters, PhD and executive education level.
In Fall 2012, the International MBA Program will relocate to a new building with state of the art facilities. The creative layout of classrooms, common spaces, and study rooms will facilitate both learning and networking. IE distinguishes itself from most of the other business schools by the focus on injecting more humanities related courses into the core and elective offerings. IE Business School believes that in order to exercise sound managerial judgment, students must have the capabilities to extract the influence of historical, social and cultural movements on decision making within a business context. Furthermore, IE is constantly enriching their curriculum, and it appears that this determination to stretch the boundaries is enough to keep the competition at bay with over six hundred students on their MBA program, the sheer progression that the school achieves year by year is noteworthy to say the least. We congratulate IE Business School, whose effort and improvement has earned them the top spot in the Findyourmba Rising Stars Ranking.
