We have won the ranking by WPROST for the seventh time and maintained our position of the best non-state school of business.
 
We have also come first in the category: ‘Where to study Business management’, beating all state and non-state schools.
 
We are considered to be a school of international standards.
 
As far as non-state institutions are concerned, this year’s ranking carried out by WPROST evaluated the following:

· Intellectual facilities B (max. 40 points) including: type of programs offered (graduate, vocational, license to grant Ph.D. degrees, MBA programs), the quality of the programs and divisions (based on the accreditations received), faculty achievements (completed PhD and post-PhD dissertations, professors’ nomination by the RP President, teaching periods and visits abroad), quality of research (publications in international journals, research grants received, participation in international research projects).
· Quality of education C- criteria used here were similar to those used for state institutions- (max. 40 points) including: quality of curricula, faculty teaching skills, It and library facilities (with the Internet access), internships, training programs, conditions for and effectiveness of foreign language instruction, adjustment of curricula to the demands of today’s economy and society, openness to new phenomena.
· Career opportunities and conditions of studying D (max. 20 points)- the two categories that were considered separately for state schools have been considered as one in case of non-state schools; however, the criteria used were identical. The areas under scrutiny included: alumni demand in the job market, evaluation of alumni employed by their employers, comparison of salary levels of alumni, alumni participation in recruitment for various posts, the speed of promotion as well as the quality and size of the facilities, the sum of money spent on and the size of new investment projects, the cost of education, financial aid system and awards, accommodation and sports facilities (dormitories, cafeterias, clubs, sports facilities).
 
In the ranking of the schools that offer recommended programs and majors the following criteria were taken into account: the quality of education (max. 50 points): the value of curricula, correlation between education and market demands, faculty potential in comparison with the best centers worldwide (participation in research projects, grants, innovations, original projects, publications in the international magazines, citations in the Philadelphia index). The market value of the diploma was also taken into account (max. 50 points): demand for alumni on the market, the evaluation of alumni by employers, salary levels of alumni, the speed of promotion. 
 Unlike competitive rankings, WPROST ranking did not compare big, state institutions which often have several decades of experience and achievements with small business schools because, according to the authors of the ranking, state institutions outpace the non-state competitors in academic facilities but no longer in the level of alumni preparation or curricula. This ranking did not take into consideration the opinions of the academic community. In this way, the ranking’s authors prevented well-established and famous colleagues from voting for each other and eliminating private competition.
