Rotman School of Management

The Rotman School of Management is part of the University of Toronto, a global centre of research and teaching excellence at the heart of Canada’s commercial capital. Rotman is a catalyst for transformative learning, insights and public engagement, bringing together diverse views and initiatives around a defining purpose: to create value for business and society.

Rotman offers five MBA programs, three specialized Master’s programs, a graduate diploma, a PhD program and a wide range of custom and open enrolment non-degree executive programs for professional development.

Students interested in an MBA can consider five formats: a Full-Time MBA, a Morning or Evening MBA, an Executive MBA, a Global Executive MBA delivered in partnership with SDA Bocconi, or a Global Executive MBA in Healthcare and the Life Sciences. The School’s specialized programs include: the Master of Finance, Master of Financial Risk Management, Master of Management Analytics and the Graduate Diploma in Professional Accounting.

The renowned ‘buzz’ at Rotman reflects the energy of a world-class business school where students come to advance their careers, researchers share breakthrough insights, and respected thinkers and business leaders exchange views with each other and the wider community. The result: a palpable sense of momentum and impact on the world around us.

A commitment to diversity is core to the Rotman experience. Owing to our scale and downtown Toronto

location, the School attracts students and scholars from a wide range of countries and backgrounds. Our collective aim is to provide a study and working environment that is safe, welcoming, open, inclusive and respectful to all.

Students at every career stage come to Rotman to gain the knowledge, agility and confidence demanded by a world that never stops changing. Our programs consist of a rigorous, model-based problem-solving approach combined with hands-on practice to build skills in real-time. The School also provides an intensive focus on personal development, with programming designed to help students fulfill their potential as leaders, entrepreneurs or champions of change.

Upon graduation, Rotman alumni are employed at well-established companies, not-for-profits and the public sector, while some join or launch innovative startups. Our alumni network currently consists of 18,000 graduates in 90 countries.

Rotman is one of very few non-U.S. schools—and the only Canadian school—to be consistently ranked among the world’s top research schools. Faculty research informs the School’s programs at all levels and defines our role in the academic community. It is essential for an internationally-relevant business school to be an active knowledge creator and to be recognized as such by the global academic community. Our research has a direct and often immediate impact on the way businesses, governments and people operate.

Rotman’s faculty, research centres, public events, publications and non-degree executive programs have far-reaching impact on the leadership community, locally and globally, while the School’s institutes, centres and labs are reinventing old models and exploring new solutions to business and social challenges. The School’s events bring together business leaders, policymakers, students, alumni and the public and share research insights and innovative thinking on business, economic and social issues. The Rotman Management magazine and the Rotman Insights Hub newsletter translate our academic research into accessible articles and insights for the business community.

The Rotman School is uniquely positioned to inspire creative solutions to intractable problems and address complex challenges in their larger, global context. The people who come to Rotman to learn, teach and discover all share a desire for change, whether that means changing direction, changing traditional thinking or changing the world. They embrace Rotman's catalytic energy and collective sense of purpose. And so will you.
