The Master of Management of Innovation (MMI), University of Toronto, is an accelerated
twelve-month masters program designed to complement students with a science or engineering background by providing a focused learning experience in management and economics and industry exposure through a Group Project. The curriculum provides a strong foundation in economic analysis, technology management, business strategy, finance, accounting, marketing and policy. That, combined with the option of taking graduate electives from within the University of Toronto allows the student to fine
tune the degree to their individual career demands. Classes are led by leading researchers in direct contact with students through very small and selective class sizes of no more than 24 students. Combine all this with our focused team building and leadership retreat, multiple career development seminars, (winning resume strategy, bio-writing, networking skills and dressing for success), with industry consultants and many networking opportunities, successful MMI graduates are well prepared to fast track their careers. Talented leaders are needed to manage the innovation process – are you interested?
