1999-05-20 - Queen's School of Business ranks as one of the world's top 30 providers of executive education, according to a new study by The Financial Times. The ranking appeared this week in the London, England-based publication, which is widely read by businesspeople around the world. Queen's is the only Canadian school to make the list.

"We're delighted to be included among the best in business education," said Dr. Margot Northey, Dean of Queen's School of Business. "Queen's has been a trailblazer in executive education by offering a variety of top caliber programs in all functional areas of management. As the demand for executive education grows, Queen's will continue to stay at the forefront of business education."
