Smith School of Business is one of the world's premier business schools, consistently capturing top international rankings for its programs. The world-class reputation of this small, elite school is a testament to the high quality of its programs, its faculty and its students — who come from Canada and abroad.
Smith MBA utilizes an innovative approach to team-based learning that is far more advanced than that used in other MBA programs. Bloomberg BusinessWeek ranks Queen's MBA #1 in the world for Teamwork.
We believe strongly in our team-based approach because it mirrors today's progressive workplace. You will leave the program with a thorough understanding of the best practices for successful team-building and teamwork, well-prepared to be a valuable member of a high-performance team. While other MBA programs talk about "teamwork", what they are actually referring to is "group work" — a very different concept.
Our flexible programs allow you to build your curriculum to meet your career goals. The program begins with an overview of business fundamentals in the first six months as well as an Integrated Team Project. This offers you a unique opportunity to work with Small to Medium Size Enterprises (SME) and put into practice what you are learning throughout the program.
Then you'll choose your individual project and complete your electives and those who choose to pursue a specialization will earn an MBA and a Graduate Certificate in one of the following areas: Consulting, Digital Transformation, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Finance, Management Analytics or Marketing & Sales. If you decide not to specialize, you may complete the General Management option which requires students to choose elective courses in a variety of different areas.
Advancing your career is our number one priority. While most schools help with job placement, we offer comprehensive career management through our full-time MBA Career Manager. You'll receive the very best training in professional communications, resume preparation, and career counselling. Because of our reputation, top management consulting, investment banking and high-tech firms actively recruit our graduates. We offer an interest free tuition loan to all qualifying students and we pay for your education for up to six months after graduation.
