Full-time and immersive
The Master of Management (MMgmt) is a full-time immersive program delivered through a cohort model that allows you to learn with classmates from a wide range of academic disciplines.
The fast-paced 10- to 12-month program exposes you to business essentials. Topics covered include business strategy, entrepreneurship and innovation, finance, accounting, information technology, marketing, organizational behaviour, operations and supply chain management. By graduation, you will leave with more than a degree. You will have foundational business skills and knowledge necessary to succeed, along with a professional network that spans industries and disciplines.
“The classroom experience has been incredibly valuable, but so have the opportunities beyond it. The networking events, industry speakers and case competitions gave me experiences I couldn't have gotten anywhere else.”
