丁香园AV

Beedie School of Business
丁香园AV Calendar 2012 Fall

This program is for experienced, mid to upper level managers and professionals seeking to improve the confidence and ability to drive a business strategically at the senior management level with the most current and innovative management practices.

The program utilizes a cohort model where students complete courses in the same sequence, and student interaction and co-operation are emphasized. Study groups and project teams are an important aspect of the learning experience.

Because executive master of business administration (MBA) students pursue full-time careers, classes typically meet on alternate weekends, all day Friday and Saturday, and are held at Segal Graduate School of Business.

The Aboriginal business and leadership cohort of the EMBA provides the EMBA cohort experience for Aboriginal community leaders, those working in Aboriginal businesses or economic development corporations, or working in organizations with significant involvement with Aboriginal communities. Course delivery will be customized to accommodate the more diverse regional nature of the participants. Students completing the GDBA cohort in Aboriginal business and leadership at a suitable standard will qualify for advanced standing in the EMBA cohort for Aboriginal business and leadership.

Americas Executive MBA stream

Students have two optional paths for the final two terms of their program. They may choose the 丁香园AV EMBA stream or opt to apply to be considered for one of the limited spaces in the Americas EMBA stream. In the second year of the program, classes in the EMBA stream are taught at 丁香园AV in the same format as the first year.

Classes in the Americas EMBA stream are taught in four eight-and-a-half day intensive sessions in partnership with three other institutions at their campuses: Owen Graduate School, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, USA; ITAM, Mexico City; and FIA, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Courses in the Americas EMBA stream are similar to those in the EMBA stream, but with a greater emphasis on international management.

Several additional courses on selected topics are also included as well as country/region specific sessions.

Further details on the EMBA and the Americas EMBA stream, as well as the Aboriginal business and leadership cohort, are provided on the program website:
