For the fourth consecutive year, CEO Magazine has ranked Kennesaw State University’s Executive MBA program as the best in Georgia.

The magazine’s 2020 Global Executive MBA listing ranks KSU’s program 13th on the list of the best Tier One executive MBA programs around the world. It places third on the list of best programs in the United States and ranks the best in Georgia.

The magazine classifies programs from 161 schools in 27 countries as either Tier One or Tier Two programs. The classification is based on factors like faculty-to-student ratio, the quality of the faculty, international diversity, class size, accreditation, work experience, gender parity and work experience.

KSU's Executive MBA program, which is part of its Coles College of Business, has been designated by the magazine as a Tier One program for the past six years, KSU said.
