Eduniversal ranks AUB’s Suliman S. Olayan School of Business
as top business school with strong global influence

NNA - The American University of Beirut (AUB) Suliman S. Olayan School of Business (OSB) has been ranked in the 5 Palmes of Excellence Eduniversal league, which is the top league among the best business schools with strong global influence, by global ranking and rating agency Eduniversal. 

 

“This is in recognition of OSB’s growing global presence, engagement, and impact,” commented OSB Dean Yusuf Sidani. “It is always important to expose our students to the world of business at an international level. Our faculty’s research addresses not only local and regional problems, but it tackles issues that are relevant at a global level. We expect more of this to happen as the world opens up again and adjusts to the new normal.”

 

Eduniversal is an international ranking and rating agency specialized in higher education, and experienced in evaluating academic institutions and programs in France since 1994, and internationally since 2007. The Eduniversal system rates schools according to their international reputation at national and global levels, and by geographical zone. After the 1,000 best business schools in 154 countries have been selected, they are divided within each country into five levels of excellence which Eduniversal titles the Palme of Excellence. There are five leagues of Palmes of Excellence.

 

More on the selection and ranking criteria

 

Three main criteria were considered by Eduniversal’s international scientific committee in evaluating OSB. The committee is composed of 11 members, two Eduniversal executive members and nine independent experts in global higher education.

 

The first two criteria, which are quantitative and qualitative, are the basis of the official selection of the 1,000 best business schools. The quantitative criteria includes the national expenditure on education per inhabitant, the GDP per inhabitant, the size of the population, and the number of students in higher education. The qualitative criteria includes the number of graduate academic institutions in the country as well as the historical importance of the national educational tradition.

 

Then, for each country, the choosen schools are divided into five levels of excellence. The level of excellence is then awarded to each school based on internationalization criteria, such as accreditations, major rankings, memberships in academic or professional associations or partnerships.
