In the 2026 Global Executive MBA Rankings by QS (Quacquarelli Symonds), the Executive MBA program at the Georgia Tech Scheller College of Business is ranked No. 1 in Georgia, three years running, and No. 14 in the U.S.
Schools were ranked based on five performance lenses:
- Employer reputation (30%)
- Thought Leadership (25%)
- Career Outcomes (20%)
- Executive profile (15%)
- Class diversity (10%)
In addition, the ranking also considered:
- Executive profile: Average years' work experience, managerial experience and C-suite experience
- Career progression: Salary change after graduation, percentage of students promoted within a year of graduation
- Diversity: Representation of women within a class cohort and the number of nationalities among a program's students
Data was collected from Georgia Tech regarding the most recent academic year and two additional surveys: the QS Global Employer Survey and the QS Academic Survey. The Employer and Academic Survey data gathered spans five years, with recent data having more weight.
"Continuing to achieve the top ranking in Georgia three years running and securing a place among the best executive MBA programs in the world speaks to the caliber of our students, faculty, and curriculum,” said Manpreet Hora, senior associate dean for programs. “We’re proud to see our graduates driving meaningful impact in a tech-driven global economy."
