A joint Sino-US educational venture has been ranked the world's eighth
and the Chinese mainland's first in UK-based The Financial Times' annual
international executive MBA list.

Located in the prestigious Fudan University in Shanghai and with its
curriculum based on the Olin School of Business' EMBA program, which is
offered to executives in the United States, the Washington
University-Fudan University EMBA Program is closely integrated into the
larger Fudan School of Management and Olin School of Business communities.

EMBA education has been thriving recently as China's GDP is growing at a
double-digit speed. To make its key enterprises more competitive in the
global market, the government sends 5,000 senior executives to 30 top
business schools for further studies worldwide.

Ken Bardach, associate dean for Executive Education at Olin, said:
"Having a sister program in Shanghai allows us to provide a front row
seat for our US students to the extraordinary economic development we see
in China, preparing our students to manage on a global platform."
