The 2002 Financial Times rankings list UNC's business school as the highest public university in international executive education programs.
Kenan-Flagler moved up two spots from No. 10 in 2001.
The survey evaluated business schools in the United States, Europe, Canada, Mexico, Argentina and Australia.
According to the Financial Times, the annual rankings are compiled from responses of course participants or corporate purchasers, as well as surveys of business schools. The ranking are determined by a combination of scores in categories like faculty, facilities and course design.
Julie Collins, senior associate dean of the Kenan-Flagler Business School, said she is thrilled about the ranking.
"It shows that we are one of the best business programs in the world for executive education and that we are providing that education to executives effectively," said Collins.
The executive education program focuses on training executives to effectively solve current and future challenges.
Collins said she believes one reason Kenan-Flagler's program ranks so highly is because it provides what its customers require. "We never have a client who leaves dissatisfied," she said.
Collins said Kenan-Flagler is one of two schools that achieved a perfect score in custom programs. This means every company asked if it would enroll in another program at Kenan-Flagler said yes.
