The creative layout of classrooms, common spaces, and study rooms will facilitate both learning and networking. IE distinguishes itself from most of the other business schools by the focus on injecting more humanities related courses into the core and elective offerings. IE Business School believes that in order to exercise sound managerial judgment, students must have the capabilities to extract the influence of historical, social and cultural movements on decision making within a business context. Furthermore, IE is constantly enriching their curriculum, and it appears that this determination to stretch the boundaries is enough to keep the competition at bay with over six hundred students on their MBA program, the sheer progression that the school achieves year by year is noteworthy to say the least. We congratulate IE Business School, whose effort and improvement has earned them the top spot in the Findyourmba Rising Stars Ranking.
