Purdue University's Krannert School of Management's international executive MBA degree program placed 11th worldwide in the latest rankings released by Financial Times.

The ranking was up one place from 2006. The publication ranked the International Master's in Management No. 6 among programs with a United States partner school. The program is a collaboration among the Krannert School; TIAS/Nimbas in the Netherlands; Central European University in Budapest, Hungary; and the GISMA Business School in Hannover, Germany and has consistently ranked among Financial Times' top 20 programs in recent years. Prior to the No. 12 ranking last year, the program ranked No. 16 in 2005, 11th in 2004 and 14th in 2003.

"The continuous top-20 ranking in this international survey affirms that the world business marketplace knows about and values graduate education at Krannert," said Richard A. Cosier, Krannert School dean and Leeds Professor of Management. "It shows our strategy to prepare graduates to compete globally is working."
