A look at programmes by geographical region in the EMBA ranking reveals some interesting variations.

In the Americas, salaries are the key differentiator: eight of the top 10 programmes there also boast the best average salaries. The top earners are from Wharton, also the highest-ranked programme in the region. Alumni from the school were earning an average of $235,555 three years after graduation. This represents the biggest increase too, a change of 99 per cent on salary before studying for an EMBA.
