Global Perspective
The program has a strong global perspective. Through the core curriculum and two Global Study Trips, you’ll gain firsthand exposure to diverse markets, cultures, and business environments—strengthening your ability to lead effectively in an increasingly complex global economy.
Global Study Trips
Every participant takes part in two five-day, for-credit Global Study Trips. Each combines academic learning at a leading partner school with direct exposure to local companies, experienced alongside the accomplished peers you learn with throughout the program. You’ll return with a broader perspective, a deeper appreciation for diverse viewpoints, and a more informed approach to navigating complex global challenges.
Europe
Travel with your cohort to Europe, where you’ll learn with faculty at a leading partner school and engage with local businesses. You’ll explore how culture, business practices, and local context shape the way organizations operate, leaders make decisions, and business gets done.
Asia
Continue your global learning in Asia, immersing yourself in a distinct business environment that broadens your perspective, challenges assumptions, and deepens your understanding of how organizations operate and leaders navigate different cultural contexts.
“The EMBA program gave me the mindset that ‘anything is possible’ and the confidence to never shy away from an opportunity. I will always be grateful for that - I came out of the program a changed person. Because of Smith, I know I have the skills to be able to breakdown a project into its component parts and tackle it. The EMBA also helped me understand how to communicate with all stakeholders in an organization. I have my CPA background and now a greater appreciation and understanding of strategy, marketing and human capital. I quickly progressed from middle-management to a Director-level position.”

“The international study trip to Singapore and the global consulting project were two of the most memorable aspects of the program. Working on the project with colleagues from all over Canada, and then meeting our client together face-to-face in Taiwan, was both professionally rewarding and personally fulfilling. It was a truly incredible and enriching experience.”
