"The University of Miami School of Business Administration is uniquely positioned to be the business school of choice for both degree and non-degree business education in Latin America," said Eugene Anderson, the School's dean. "This ranking is a testament to our commitment to engage managers and organizations throughout Latin America and to better prepare them to respond successfully to the growth the region is experiencing."

America Economia, one of Latin America's leading business magazines, ranked the top executive education programs based on the size and number of each school's corporate clients, the seniority of the participants in the programs, the quality of the faculty who teach in the programs, each school's international connections, and the prestige of school.  

The UM School of Business offers executive education programs customized for the specific needs of individual organizations and their employees as well as open enrollment programs for executives and other business professionals. A significant number of the School's custom executive education clients and partners are based in Latin America, with many among the region's leading corporations. These custom programs, which are delivered in both English in Spanish, range in topic from "managing across cultures" and "global strategies" to "driving innovation," "developing high-potential employees," and "senior executive development." 

The School's executive education offerings also include open enrollment certificate programs, many of which also draw executives from Latin America. These programs include a Latin American Healthcare Compliance Certificate Program, a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification Program and an Advanced Marketing Strategy Certificate Program, among others offered both in English and Spanish.
