The Financial Times of London released the results of its 2008 Global EMBA (Executive Master of Business Administration) survey on October 28th. After rigorous review, NTU's College of Management achieved a quantum leap, advancing to the 43rd place among the world's top one hundred universities, and reigned supreme in Taiwan.

The Financial Times of England annually rates the EMBA programs worldwide based on the faculty and curriculum of each individual school.
