A CNW release announcing the ranking is picked up by, and the 2015 MBA ranking is noted in, an Academica brief highlighting the six Canadian business schools that have made the ranking's top 20. The print edition of the MBA rankings was distributed last Friday as an insert in the The Globe and Mail, and yesterday in The Washington Post.
