Desautels Faculty of Management
McGill University, Montreal

Full time: 1 year (fast-track) or 2 years (with internship)
Work experience required: 2 years
Tuition: $81,000

A 2020 overhaul revamped McGill’s MBA to suit students who need flexibility, allowing them to fast-track in 12 months or study for two years. Fewer than a hundred students enrol annually in the highly ranked business program, which culminates in a 10-day international study trip for company visits, meetings with senior execs, workshops and seminars. A comprehensive internship program sees full-time students complete work placements over 10 weeks to six months. The new curriculum replaces concentrations with specializations (e.g., entrepreneurship, digital management, and global strategy and leadership) with a modern focus on sustainability across all topics.
