McGill alumni most likely to reach the C-suite

There is no single path to the C-suite, but getting a McGill education can help. Among Canadian university graduates, McGill alumni are the most likely to become CEOs, according to research by Immerse Education, a UK provider of academic enrichment programs. According to data drawn from LinkedIn, more than 9,600 McGill alumni are currently chief executives or have held a CEO role in the past. “It's the hardest school for undergraduate business students to get into across the country, and one of the hardest in the world,” McGill Desautels Professor Karl Moore told CTV News. The large proportion of international students helps Desautels students garner a more comprehensive range of experiences, which helps make students into leaders and primes them for success, he added.
