This distinction positions Sabancı Business School among the "Universal Business Schools with Strong Global Influence," a group of only 100 schools.

How does the Eduniversal Evaluation Process work?

The Eduniversal ranking is based on a rigorous two-step evaluation process:

Step 1 - Selecting the World's Top 1000 Business Schools

Each year, the top 1000 business schools out of thousands of schools are selected from 153 countries through a quota system. This selection is based on both quantitative and qualitative criteria:

• Quantitative criteria:
  
  The national expenditure on education per inhabitant
  • The GDP per inhabitant
  • The size of the population
  • The number of students in higher education
• Qualitative criteria:
   
  • The number of graduate academic institutions in the country
  • The historical importance of the national educational tradition 

Step 2 – Palmes of Excellence Leagues

The selected 1,000 schools are divided into five different "Palmes of Excellence" categories based on internationalization criteria. 

These criteria include:

• International accreditations 
   
• Major rankings 
   
• Memberships in academic or professional associations 
   
• International partnerships 

The highest level, the 5 Palmes of Excellence League, encompasses only 100 business schools worldwide and is defined as "Universal Business Schools with Strong Global Influence."
