University ranking

Big news in Wenshan! At last, the National Chengchi University received tangible international recognition. The NCCU Masters in Management program was ranked as world's 47th best in the UK Financial Times 2008 poll. Hooray, this is a good university after all. My program didn't receive any laurels that I know of, but we can at least hope to be somehow influenced by the presence of excellent future managers on campus.

Incidentally, the EMBA program at the Hong Kong University of Science Technology, where I spent one semester as an exchange student, was ranked as number 2 in the world. Average annual salary of the alumni 3 years after graduation is close to 350,000 USD. Too bad I was an undergraduate student, and spent about half the semester traveling around Asia, rather than peeking into the classrooms and making friends with the future steersmen of the world business.

This tells me I have a talent for sniffing out the cream-of-the-crop universities in Asia. Just need to work on getting my application to the right department.

Anyways, here's a link to the poll: http://rankings.ft.com/businessschoolrankings/masters-in-management

Hey,

if you are writing about NCCU ranking, don't forget to mention our home university! It is the best one in the Eastern European Zone.
