No matter where you are in Canada or the world, you can choose to study on campus or online – or a combination of both options – for many of our degree programs. You can also graduate sooner with approved transfer credits from post-secondary courses or military service or study year-round.
Our flexible degree programs are designed with industry input and offer you the professional knowledge, skills and designation prerequisites you need to launch, advance or switch careers.
We assist you in creating impactful resumes, cover letters and portfolios, prepare you for interviews, and help find work opportunities that match your ambition.
International Student Application Fee: $150
Entry requirements vary by course. View the course page for Specific Course Requirements.
International Students:
To apply to our programs, you will have to complete the following steps:
Regular Admission requirements are the following:
Students without a business baccalaureate degree (e.g., Bachelor of Business Administration, Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Science in Management) must complete the three foundation courses in their first term, before beginning the core MBA courses.
Students who enter the program with a business undergraduate degree will receive credit for the foundation courses and begin the program with the core business courses to complete the degree with 36 credits over 12 courses.
Conditional Admission
An applicant with a CGPA between 2.5 and 2.99 for their baccalaureate degree may be admitted conditionally provided they submit a recent GMAT score of 550 or higher (or equivalent GMAT focus score) alongside the regular admission documents.??The GRE equivalent of a GMAT score equivalent to 550 will also be considered for admission.? A minimum score of 157 on the Quantitative and 157 on the Verbal reasoning of the GRE will be considered.
Conditionally admitted students are admitted on probation and must achieve a cumulative GPA of at least 2.7 (B-, 70%) at the end of their first three courses (9 credits) of study to clear probation
As stated in Section 8.3, Academic Probation: “A student who has been placed on academic probation and whose cGPA at the end of the subsequent term remains below the program’s requirements for good academic standing will be academically dismissed and required to wait at least one year before applying for re-admission to the program.? Note, however, that if a student’s performance shows significant improvement such that the head of the program concludes that additional time is likely to bring the student into good academic standing, the head of the program may allow the student to continue on probation for an additional term. Students for whom it is mathematically impossible to bring cGPA to good standing will not be granted such an extension.? Only in exceptional circumstances will academic probation be extended for a second time.”
In practice, this means:
English Language Proficiency
The University reserves the right to refuse admission to any student whose proficiency in English is insufficient.
Applicants for admission must establish proficiency in English sufficient for graduate study.
