The Executive Education Ranking (The Top 50 schools), released annually by the Financial Times, is comprised of the combination of two lists: open programs – intensive programs focused on specific business management themes and offered to the executive market of different companies – and customized programs – developed to meet the specific needs of companies. In both cases, 80% of the evaluation takes into account the opinion of participants (Open Programs) and client companies (Customized Programs). The remaining (20%) is evaluated by the Financial Times with the quantitative data provided by the business schools. In this ranking, that classifies the 50 best business schools in the world, FDC occupies the 5th position.
