The Schulich MBA offers the advantages of a highly diverse teaching faculty and student community.  Combined with its global business partnerships, which allow for study abroad in more than 40 cities, this diversity ensures that your experience will be truly international.

Go global with the Schulich International MBA (IMBA). This unique degree programme allows you to broaden your horizons and leverage your Canadian and international experience by specializing in global trading regions working and studying abroad.

Located at York University in Toronto, one of the most diverse cities in the world with a population that is more than 50 percent non-Canadian, Schulich provides a unique diverse culture. Situated in the financial and cultural centre of Canada, Schulich gives you access to the head offices of many organizations. This vast corporate network enables Schulich students to develop strong linkages into the global business community.

Schulich’s new $104-million building complex is striking by its sheer scale and scope. Yet, the building is about shapes and the way stone, steel and wood conspire to create spaces that bring people together. It is a dynamic, interactive learning environment and these spaces foster community and help build lasting relationships. At the end of the day, that is what business is all about.

“Our mission here at Schulich is clear and compelling: to graduate men and women who will become business leaders of the highest caliber, and to prepare them to succeed in a constantly changing world. If you seek a highly rewarding and  stimulating MBA or IMBA programme, in a learning environment that is truly international, then I invite you to come to Canada’s Global Business School™ – The Schulich School of Business.” – Dean Dezsö J.
