New Master of Management Degree

New 16-Month Master of Management to Launch Exclusively at Trent University Durham GTA

Trent University will equip the next generation of management leaders for success in the global business world with the launch of a new 16-month Master of Management (M.Mgt.) program offered exclusively at the University’s Durham Campus in the Greater Toronto Area.

Starting this autumn and now open for applications, the M.Mgt. was created especially for students with an undergraduate degree in a non-business major. Providing students with a grounding in a broad spectrum of business and management disciplines, from accounting to corporate finance and marketing to strategic management, the program also encourages students to understand the larger social issues facing businesses in a rapidly changing environment.

A uniquely advantageous feature of the M.Mgt. is a summer work integrated learning opportunity designed to ensure students graduate with the edge needed to succeed in a competitive business environment, both in Canada and overseas.

“The work placement is a projectbased initiative that will allow students to translate the theory learned in the classroom in the first two terms into practical, real-world experience, which is highly valued by employers,” says Dr. Amina Malik, assistant professor in the School of Business at Trent, and interim director of the program. “The final term will provide students the opportunity to reflect on their practical experience and to bring their work experience into their classroom learning.

“The Master of Management is for students looking to develop advanced and sophisticated leadership skills as a complement to their undergraduate education,” adds Professor Malik. “We will explore management theory and practice on a human scale. Through small-group learning scenarios with award-winning faculty, students will also benefit from a combination of independent and collaborative learning experiences.” Developed to address the needs of today’s employers and give graduates the competitive edge in the job market, the program is open to nonbusiness majors who have completed their undergraduate degree within five years of starting the program. The M.Mgt. will also have broad appeal for international students.

“The new program, located exclusively at our Durham GTA campus, will complement the unique mix of humanities and social science undergraduate programs at our campus,” said Joe Muldoon, head of Trent Durham GTA. “Students in the program will benefit from a summer work placement in the GTA, less than an hour from downtown Toronto, Canada’s largest commercial centre.”

Part of the prestigious School of Business at Trent, the M.Mgt. program will begin in September, 2018 and is currently open for applications.
