Emphasizing the significant teaching and research strengths of McGill's international faculty while responding to current business imperatives, the curriculum offers an integrated multi-disciplinary, problem-solving approach grounded in practice.

What’s more, they benefit immensely from McGill’s worldwide network of alumni and its reputation with recruiters across all sectors and countries.
Education with Relevance
Reaching far beyond the conventional educational models, the Desautels MBA rises above the mechanics of traditional business disciplines such as marketing, finance and accounting. The MBA program focuses on the integrated thinking managers need to solve multi-disciplinary problems.
Integrated Management
Over the past decade, business has become increasingly complex, global and interconnected. To enable students to manage and lead in such an environment, the Desautels Faculty of Management has adapted its reinvented MBA program to think about business in a holistic manner, particularly the interconnections between core disciplines. This new approach embraces the idea that there are no marketing, accounting or operational problems to be addressed. Rather, there are business problems to be solved and opportunities to be seized.
Magnificent Montreal
Montreal, a bilingual city located in the heart of North America, is unrivalled in delivering a unique and culturally-enriching learning experience. Studying and often living just steps from the bustling downtown business core, Desautels MBA students experience first-hand the fast-paced dynamics that drive one of Canada’s leading and most culturally diverse business centres.

A small class size and the program's collaborative spirit further enhance the international experience in the program.
