Master of Business Administration [Intensive] [Course Based]

The Telfer School of Management offers a Master of Business Administration (MBA) as well as two combined programs: MBA-Juris Doctor, MBA-L.LL. It also offers an Executive MBA (EMBA) program which is designed for mid-career and senior level executives who seek a global, practical and relevant experience all while earning a graduate degree. In addition, it is a partner in a number of interdisciplinary graduate programs, such as Engineering Management, Systems Science and Digital Transformation and Innovation.

The MBA program is designed to prepare students to be agile, responsible business leaders in the modern digital world, and to adapt to disruptive technologies and other unexpected challenges. The MBA program offers a choice of four concentrations for those who desire to specialize in an area of interest or expertise, and to have this achievement recognized on their diplomas.

A Canadian baccalaureate degree, or equivalent, with a minimum admission average of B (70%) is required. The admission average is calculated in accordance with the University's guidelines.
A minimum of three years of full-time managerial or professional work experience is required. Part-time positions, summer jobs, and co-op placements do not count toward this experience, but they are considered favorably during the file evaluation process. Preference is given to those who have greater work experience, particularly when there is evidence of management responsibilities and a net career progression.
Applicants must achieve a competitive score in the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) to apply to the program in English, or in the TAGE MAGE to apply to the program in French.
Exceptionally, a limited number of candidates may be considered for admission based on substantial managerial or professional training, and at least 10 years of work experience. This experience indicates strong evidence of management responsibilities and career progression, even if such candidates do not hold a Canadian bachelor's degree or its equivalent, or if the candidate does not meet the minimum academic requirements.

Candidates whose mother tongue is neither English nor French are required to provide evidence of proficiency in one of these languages. Candidates applying to the English MBA must submit one of the following to confirm their English proficiency (the test scores cannot be more than two years old as of September 1 of the year of potential entry into the MBA program):

Proof of completion within the last five years of a previous degree program in an English language university.
Proof of recent prolonged residence and exercise of a profession in an English-speaking country (normally at least four years over the last six years).
A score of at least 100 (Internet-based) or 250 (computer-based) on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
A score of at least 7 in at least three of the four Academic International English Language Testing System (IELTS) tests (Reading, Listening, Writing, Speaking) and at least 6 in the fourth. The General Training IELTS test is not accepted.
