<p>Is NU even recognized worldwide?</p>
<p>Not Harvard, Stanford, or Oxbridge of course. But fairly recognized in the world of finance/management consulting due to its highly ranked MBA/econ programs.</p>
<p>All of the Chinese and Singaporean students I know say it's known very well in East asia (if only for Kellogg).</p>
<p>Times</a> Higher Education</p>
<p>Ranked 29 by Times Higher internationally with a 68 score from international students.</p>
<p>In addition to Northwestern's international recognition in economics and business (Kellogg) its reputation in journalism (Medill) and communications (School of Communications) is unmatched. The new Education City in Qatar will house a school that represents a Northwestern (Medill/Communications) mideast branch campus.

<p>Qatar's Queen visited this year. It was pretty cool- it was during my fraternity's philanthropy, and the day before her visit a bunch of secret service agents came through with a bunch of very, very well dressed Arab men. One came up and talked to us, and bought a $1 water. For $100. Good people, them.</p>
<p>LMFAO. Lol $100 for a $1 water? Richh....However. In reality, they spending the money their profit from our dependence on oil. So its like a "its our money in the first place." shoot.</p>
<p>More like, "here's $100 dollars for curing cancer." "Oh, are you thirsty?" "Sure"</p>
<p>When I had a hard time to decide between Duke and NU, my cousin who's a Harvard MBA graduate now running his own hedge fund company convinced me to take NU instead of Duke due to it's renowned business and Economic program which is well-known here in HK. It's joint EMBA program with HKUST (HK University of Science and Technology) is ranked number one in the world, beating U Penn, Columbia and other world renowned institution.</p>
<p>what are emba and hk?</p>
<p>Hong Kong and Executive MBA.</p>
