"I wanted to move into a different sector and explore a new career path. Since I didn’t have a business background, an MBA felt like the natural next step. With Haskayne’s reputation, industry connections and networking opportunities, it was the right choice to help me transition from football and teaching into business.”

Can I work while completing the Full-time MBA?
During the first eight months of the Haskayne Full-time MBA, working is not recommended due to the intensive course load. However, many students opt to work over the spring and summer months, as well as during the second year of this pathway, as the course load is lighter and scheduling is more flexible.
