The Campus, Full-Time, One Year MBA

Overview:

Our full-time MBA program is designed to enable you to complete an MBA in 12 months of study at the University Canada West Campus. For this program you need not have work experience.

Admission Requirements
While we do not normally use the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) as an admission decision tool for those possessing an undergraduate degree, you will be asked to complete an application process that includes some assessment in order to assist us in supporting your submission, and to act as a compass in determining the best concentration alternatives for you. International applicants may have to complete the GMAT.

Applicants are usually expected to possess an undergraduate degree, but work experience is not required for this degree.

Program Description
This program begins with a two-week residency, with courses delivered on-campus at UCW. You will complete either a Research Assignment or a Consulting Assignment that is weighted at two courses.

Residency
The two-week Residency at the beginning of the year consists of three courses including skills-oriented sessions in teamwork, leadership and job analysis.

We’ll send you study materials about a month before the Residency begins, so you can be prepared to participate. When you arrive we’ll provide an orientation to our Internet system, and build some teams that will not only work together on-site but on-line as well. And you’ll meet the University Canada West support team whose goal is to assure your success

Residencies are held at various venues, chosen for their appeal, and taught by respected, senior faculty with extensive real-world experience in business and management.

Classes
Your courses are delivered on-campus, at eight-week intervals. Courses last seven weeks, and there is a week-long break between them. You will take either two or three courses at a time.

Research or Consulting Assignment
Your Research or Consulting Assignment begins after you complete your Consulting Practice course. It focuses on a real-world, organizational issue. The goal is two-fold: first to become aware of organizational processes and operation, and second, to hone skills regarding primary research. The assignment is due the end of the program year.

Depending on class size there may be four concentrations to choose from: Strategic Leadership, E-Commerce, Digital Universe, or Global Enterprise.
