“Completing the Accelerated MBA for Business Graduates program was a truly rewarding experience. The program helped me round out my general management skill set and challenged me to approach problems from a broader perspective. Completing the program while working full time enabled me to put what I was learning into practice almost immediately.”

“Not only am I one of the biggest proponents of this program, I was also the first-ever applicant. At the time, I was working at a management consulting firm that would have paid to send me anywhere, but Smith was the only place that I applied. I’m truly thankful for the experience. Not only did I enjoy the material and meet a network of great friends, but one of my classes inspired me to start Trendhunter.com!”

Women & the MBA
At Smith School of Business, we recognize the need to enable more women to ascend to the senior ranks of management. An MBA can help break down the barriers that exist for women looking to advance their careers. Smith is making a concerted effort to address this issue. In addition to hosting Women and the MBA events across Canada, we have also implemented a number of initiatives to attract and support women within our programs.
World-Class Remote Learning
Smith School of Business was a pioneer in using videoconference technology as a means of creating a live, interactive learning experience in major cities across Canada. The School has continued to improve and lead in this technology and the teaching techniques to the point where many of our students find the seamless experience to be superior to a traditional classroom. Professors teach from state-of–the-art broadcast studios on campus at Smith School of Business.
Smith has expanded on the technology with Desktop Learning, enabling people living outside of these major cities to take the Accelerated MBA for Business Graduates program from their home or office, with the same level of live, interactive connectivity.
