To determine its rankings, the U.K.-based publication profiles 340 programs across 24 countries, evaluating performance criteria that include faculty quality, diversity, accreditation, cohort composition and exposure.

"Our EMBA team works tirelessly to continually improve our students' experience. Whether it concerns updating the curriculum to reflect the current demands on leaders, such as understanding how to leverage AI, or the deeply impactful visits during the international residency, there isn't an element of the student experience that we don't work hard to improve every year," said Brian Jennings, Robinson's senior associate dean for graduate and non-degree programs.

Robinson's Executive MBA prepares leaders for what's next in their careers. The 18-month program, taught at Georgia State's Buckhead Center, broadens mid-to senior-level managers' understanding of global business and strengthens their professional networks. The program format (every other weekend) allows participants to earn an MBA while maintaining their careers. It culminates in an international business residency and consulting project, most recently in South Africa, where students meet with business leaders from around the world.
