Financial Times ranks UTD Executive MBA program No. 1 in Texas
The Financial Times has ranked the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) first in the state and tied for 10th place nationally with Georgetown University in its annual survey of executive MBA programs. The UTD program also tied with Georgetown for No. 35 worldwide.
In addition, the survey ranked the research productivity of the UTD School of Management faculty among the top 21 business schools worldwide.
To arrive at the rankings, Financial Times analyzed responses from alumni of 150 business schools around the world. It based the rankings on career progress of alumni, school diversity, international courses and faculty research published in leading journals.
“It is gratifying to see the School of Management receive such positive acknowledgement of what we know to be very high quality programs,” said UTD president David E. Daniel. “Dean Pirkul and all those associated with executive education can take pride in the continued climb of the school’s reputation.”
Dean Hasan Pirkul, Ph.D., said the rankings confirm The UTD School of Management as one of the nation’s leading business schools. 
“Our hard work is paying off, resulting in programs focused on the career success of our students, which is what the Financial Times survey primarily measures,” Pirkul said.
UTD ranked highest in the state in a measure of alumni career progress and second in the state for faculty research.
“I am particularly pleased that our relatively young university, which is just 38 years old, has passed so many universities with much longer institutional histories than ours,” Daniel said. “Our combination of youth, energy and focus on quality are really paying off in establishing our own legacy of excellence, which is now being recognized locally and globally.”
