Ceoworld released its annual lists this week, and SAIT’s School of Hospitality and Tourism came in at #1 in Canada and #14 worldwide. The school encompasses a mixture of degree, diploma and certificate programs in both hospitality and tourism management, as well as the culinary arts.

SAIT’s business school also came out on top, earning the title of top school in the category in Canada and #49 in the world. It is also one of the largest business schools in Western Canada.

In a press release, James Overall, the dean at SAITā€™s School of Hospitality and Tourism, credits the school’s practical and hands-on approach to the success of its students.

ā€œBeing recognized as Canadaā€™s top business school by CEOWORLD is an honour and a testament to the exceptional team we have at SAIT,ā€ says Janet Segato, dean of SAITā€™s School of Business.

ā€œI am so proud of the students, alumni, faculty and staff who bring applied learning to life inside and outside the classroom. This recognition demonstrates our meaningful connections with industry, and the collaborative and caring community within the School of Business.ā€

The rankings were determined based on the survey results of 250,000 business executives, graduates, global business influencers, industry professionals, academics, employers and recruiters from 156 countries and territories.
