MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

Shape Your Future

The global business landscape is hyper-competitive, turbulent and complex.

Managing effectively requires a global mindset and multi-stakeholder thinking that tackles the social, economic and environmental challenges facing business today.

It also requires the ability to explore a problem from multiple perspectives, to reframe it, and push through to actionable solutions.

At the Schulich School of Business, we have developed eight distinct specialized Masters programs that will equip you to thrive in this new business paradigm – one that our School illustrated in the groundbreaking book Re-Imagining Capitalism published in collaboration with McKinsey & Company. Our Masters degrees are designed to deliver in-depth functional and industry knowledge, strengthen your technical expertise and give you a clearly defined career advantage.

Gain hands-on experience at one of our cutting-edge labs and research hubs at our new Rob and Cheryl McEwen Graduate Study & Research Building. The building is home to our Centres of Excellence where we are global leaders in industries of the future, including business analytics, infrastructure and artificial intelligence.

Chart a course to achieve your career objectives with a Schulich 12-month Masters degree.
