The Cornell-Queen's Partnership
The Executive MBA Americas program, previously known as the Cornell-Queen's Executive MBA, is the only program of its kind in the world. It is made possible through a partnership between two of North America's premier business schools — Smith School of Business at Queen’s University and the Johnson School of Management at Cornell University in New York.
- Graduates of the program earn MBA degrees from both Cornell and Queen’s
- Graduates are considered to be full-fledged alumni of both schools
- The classroom experience is shared by participants from Canada, the USA and Latin America
- Classes are led by outstanding faculty from both schools
- Residential sessions are held at both Cornell and Queen's
There is no other executive MBA program in Canada that offers these opportunities.
“When I started the program, I saw manufacturing as the key challenge, but I came to understand that to be successful your approach has to be holistic. One highlight of the program was our Global Business Project, which took us to Kenya to work on a micro-farming initiative for HIV affected women. I now feel more self-confident to deal with complex business situations.”

“In the financial services industry an MBA is a must in order to remain competitive. As a mother of two young children, the Cornell-Queen’s program was a perfect fit for my busy life. The team-based approach was key to the learning experience and the Team Coaching was essential to the success of our team. The Global Business Project which took our team to Italy, Spain and Portugal, was a highlight.”
