Wharton Tops P&Q’s EMBA 2025-2026 U.S. EMBA Ranking For A Second Time

P&Q’s 2025-2026 Ranking of U.S. Executive MBAs, 51-72

Methodology: We used the 2024 rankings from U.S. News & World Report, Financial Times, and QS to calculate our 2025-2026 composite. Ranks shown for FT and QS are the program’s U.S. rank, not the global ranking. The top school in each separate ranking was awarded 100 points, while second place awarded a school 99 points, and so on. We then calculated a weighted average of the three scores with U.S. News and FT weighing 40% and QS weighing 20%. That total then was put into an index score to rank the programs.
