亞洲學生如今還有必要申請加拿大商學院嗎

Many students from Asian countries opt to study for an MBA in Canada, but might they be better off closer to home? On day one, we compare Asian and Canadian Schools.

許多來自亞洲國家的學生選擇到加拿大攻讀MBA學位，但如果在離家更近的地方求學會不會更好呢？我們首先對比一下亞洲和加拿大的商學院。

Their fortunes have contrasted over the past 19 editions of the annual FT Global MBA ranking, both in terms of the numbers of ranked schools and actual ranks.

不論從上榜學校的數量還是實際排名來說，在過去19年的英國《金融時報》年度全球MBA排行榜中，兩者的命運都形成了鮮明對比。

The FT published its first MBA ranking in 1999. It included the top 50 programmes worldwide, which included no Asian schools, 31 US schools, 16 from Europe and three from Canada.

1999年，英國《金融時報》發佈了首個MBA排行榜。該榜單涵蓋全球排名前50的課程項目，其中包括31所美國商學院、16所歐洲商學院以及3所加拿大商學院，沒有亞洲商學院入圍。

Among the latter, both Toronto’s Rotman School of Management and Ivey School of Business at Western University have been ranked continuously in all 19 editions up to 2017.

在上榜的加拿大商學院中，多倫多大學(University of Toronto)羅特曼管理學院(Rotman School of Management)和西安大略大學(Western University)艾維商學院(Ivey Business School)在截至2017年的全部19次排名中一直榜上有名。

Canadian schools did well in the 2001 ranking, with nine out of 100 ranked programmes. Among them, Ivey Business School was the best placed at 19. In comparison, there were only two Asian schools in 2001, including HKUST Business School at 48.

加拿大商學院在2001年的排行榜中表現不俗，9所商學院進入排名前100的課程項目。其中，艾維商學院排名最高，位列第19。相比之下，2001年只有兩所亞洲商學院上榜，包括位列第48的香港科大商學院(HKUST Business School)。

Fast-forward 16 years to the 2017 ranking, and only three Canadian schools remain among the top 100, including Rotman at 65. Twelve Asian schools were in the ranking — Ceibs was the highest at 11. In 2018, the highest new entrant is also an Asian school.

再來看2017年的排行榜，只有3所加拿大商學院仍保持在前100名行列，包括位列第65的羅特曼管理學院。12所亞洲商學院上榜——中歐國際工商學院(Ceibs)排名最高，位列第11。2018年，排名最高的新上榜者也是一所亞洲商學院。

Canadian schools had an advantage two decades ago. Most passed the FT eligibility criteria for participation as they were already accredited by the US-based Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, one of three international bodies recognised then by the FT, with Equis and Amba.

加拿大商學院在20年前還具有優勢。多數都符合英國《金融時報》的參評標準，因爲它們已經獲得總部位於美國的國際精英商學院協會(Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business)的認證。該協會是英國《金融時報》當時認可的3家國際機構之一，另外兩家是歐洲質量發展認證體系(Equis)和工商管理碩士協會(AMBA)。

Because many Asian schools were founded more recently, it took longer for most to go through the accreditation process. The Indian School of Business was the first school from India to appear in the FT ranking, in 2008, while the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta was ranked in 2017.

因爲許多亞洲商學院建成時間不長，所以多數需要花更長的時間才能通過認證程序。2008年，印度商學院(Indian School of Business)成爲印度首家登上英國《金融時報》排行榜的商學院，印度管理學院加爾各答分校(Indian Institute of Management Calcutta)則在2017年上榜。

Canadian schools’ alumni cannot compete with their US counterparts in terms of salary. Alumni from Ivey Business School are the only graduates of a Canadian school with average salaries regularly over $100,000. Alumni from Schulich School of Business at York University had a smaller average salary in 2015 at $87,000 — the last year the school was ranked — than in 2002, when it was $88,000.

薪資方面，加拿大商學院畢業生無法與美國商學院畢業生競爭。艾維商學院是加拿大唯一一所畢業生平均薪資超過10萬美元的商學院。約克大學(York University)舒立克商學院(Schulich School of Business)畢業生2015年（該校上榜的最後一年）的平均薪資爲8.7萬美元，比2002年的8.8萬美元還低。

In the same period the salary of Ceibs’ alumni went from $35,000 to $163,000, reflecting the shift eastward of the global economy. The school was ranked 17 and 11 in 2014 and 2015 respectively, and then 17 and 11 in 2016 and 2017. Will it climb again?

在同一時期，中歐國際工商學院畢業生的薪資從3.5萬美元增長至16.3萬美元，反映出全球經濟重心向東方轉移。該校2014年、2015年、2016年和2017年分別位列第17、第11、第17和第11。該校的排名會再次上升嗎？
