Telfer School of Management MBA

Students enrolled in the Telfer School of Management MBA focus on what the school considers the four essential skills of successful managers: developing strategy, analyzing data, working with people and delivering results.

Enrollees are encouraged to choose a course load that reflects their career, with electives organized by themes that include finance, entrepreneurship, innovation, management consulting and business analytics. A new specialization in public management offers courses in government relations, crisis management and finances in public organizations.

A one-week international trip allows participants to learn how business operates in other cultures. Past destinations have included Shanghai, Prague and Milan; companies visited on these excursions range from Nike to Stella Artois to Nestlé.

All students also complete a consulting project, in which they help an organization solve a real problem.

For 2019, the program has added a co-op stream, with the option for students to work part-time from January through July or full-time between September and December. Most of the co-op placements are paid; possible employers include CIBC, the Ottawa Hospital and the federal government.
