Program Schedule

Our graduates undergo a demanding 13-month schedule involving 30% more weekly class time than typical programs. This class time is supplemented by work projects that partner our MBA teams with leading North American companies.

In the first of five modules, you’ll be brought up to speed on business fundamentals, then move quickly into three context-based modules that focus on the core stages of the basic business cycle: new product/market launch, managing in growth markets and managing in mature markets.

 

Basic Business Cycle

 
At the same time, you will work with a leading corporation on projects that match the new/growth/mature market structure of the classes. Material discussed in the classroom will be directly relevant to the corporate team projects on which you’ll be working. These team-based projects are real, with real deadlines and goals, just like in the actual business world. You will interact with corporate managers and executives, and produce written reports and presentations responding to the needs of the project. A final module at the end of your degree will allow you to specialize in an area of interest.
