June 11, 2009

HEC Montréal placed 16th in the 2009 global ranking of the top 50 business schools compiled by AméricaEconomía magazine, a standard reference for the Latin American business community. The School made the list of the top 20 business schools outside of Latin America offering MBA programs.

“This prestigious recognition once again confirms the excellence of our School’s program and its leadership,” HEC Montréal Director Michel Patry noted enthusiastically. “This achievement is all the more impressive in that it was the first time the School was included in this ranking. Placing in the top 20 is sure to raise our profile in this vast region of the world.”

The criteria used to prepare the list included teaching quality and the innovative nature of the MBA program, as well as the GMAT scores of students enrolled, overall program tuition fees and the cost of living in Montreal. Lastly, the schools’ reputation in South America was surveyed through interviews with business leaders there.
