Unparalleled Choice. Flexible Programming.

(Left to right) RICK KOTICK (MBA 06) I chose Schulichs 16-month option so that I could study straight through the summer, over 4 terms, allowing me to minimize my absence from the workforce. In addition, Schulichs stellar reputation internationally tipped the scales in terms of where I chose to do my MBA. AMANDA BARNES (MBA 06) As a full-time student, I switched to part-time study during the summer to work full-time, be involved as Vice-President of the Graduate Business Council and lighten my course load the next year while I worked on the Strategy Field Study. SUNIL PATEL (MBA 06) I chose full-time study to make the most of my experience at Schulich to fully appreciate my classmates diverse backgrounds, not only in the academic setting, but also socially. I built lasting relationships that will develop into valuable business partnerships. JEFF MCDAID (MBA 06) I was glad to have the option of a January start. I was anxious to begin as soon as I decided to complete my MBA and didnt want to wait until September. Because I had a BCom degree, I qualified for Schulichs Accelerated MBA which enabled me to complete my degree in just 8 months. SHARON JOSEPH (MBA 06) I was in the consumer packaged goods industry and completed my MBA part-time while working downtown. I chose Schulichs flexible part-time option because it offered me the advantage of attending classes downtown as well as at Yorks main campus.

THE SCHULICH MBA

Your Schulich MBA gives you a competitive advantage, regardless of the field youre in. Todays globalized world is both complex and fast-paced and your success in it will depend in part on your mastery of major management disciplines. Equally important will be your judgment how well you identify problems, not just solve them; how well you deal with ambiguity and uncertainty; how effectively you examine issues from multiple perspectives before making decisions. From your first week of classes, youll have opportunity after opportunity to strengthen your skills in all these areas. Success will depend on how well you work with others to achieve results. Developing your communication, presentation, interpersonal and group management skills will be integral to your MBA studies. Another success factor will be how well you differentiate yourself from your peers. Schulichs 18 areas of specialization make this possible. Through your selection of elective courses from these specialized streams, you will become expert in one or more areas, including management functions, industries and special business issues. Certain specializations such as Real Property Development include the option of earning an additional Graduate Diploma at the same time as you complete your degree. Schulichs exceptional choice will add value to your degree. So will relevance.

But the component that will move you well beyond even the case method is the Schools one-of-a-kind capstone course the Strategy Field Study. Considered to be the ultimate in integrative management learning, each study is a six-month strategic consulting project carried out by a team of students. Its how you apply your learning and strategic thinking in the real-world. www.schulich.yorku.ca/mba

Fast Track Option

Complete the Schulich MBA in just 16 months with the option to study year round. Take 4 terms back-to-back, fast track your MBA and focus on accelerating your career.
Part-time Study
Schulichs MBA is one of the most flexible available. Complete the program in 10 terms (approximately three years). Study part-time during the day, evening or weekend at the Keele campus, or study downtown at King and Bay. The evening program consists of two evenings a week. For the weekend format, you attend classes Saturday and Sunday on alternating weekends. The Schulich full-time and part-time MBA are the same great programs the only difference is the schedule. Tailor your program to meet your career and lifestyle needs.
Switch between Part-time and Full-time
Accelerated MBA
With a business degree BBA or BCOM and 2 years post-degree work experience, you may qualify for the Accelerated MBA. You will shorten your length of study to two terms or eight months. You need a 4-year honours degree within the past ten years from an approved university, and a B average in your last two years of study.
Advanced Standing/ Waiver with Replacement

Another great Schulich option! Advanced standing is awarded on a course-by-course basis with a BBA or BCOM degree. You may be exempt from some courses and can shorten your degree by one or two courses up to nearly two terms. Or, if you have business courses in your undergraduate degree, you may qualify to replace some courses with Schulich electives and get the most out of your studies.
Customize your schedule and switch between part-time and fulltime. Part-time students can switch to full-time for any semester including a study term abroad. It is also common for students near the end of the part-time program to switch to full-time and finish the program more quickly. Full-time students often switch to part-time during the summer to reduce the course load in the second year another great way to take advantage of Schulichs flexible program.

IMBA Curriculum
Business managers who can operate across cultural boundaries have a strong competitive advantage. Schulichs IMBA equips you with the ability to think and act effectively in cross-cultural and multi-cultural environments and contexts, be it abroad or in your home country. Because the IMBA Program is an exclusive program, you will enjoy personal attention and interact one-on-one with both professors and fellow classmates who have come from both Canada and around the world. The IMBA offers expertise through specially designed international management courses and Schulichs 18 specialization options. IMBA students focus on one major international trading region (in addition to North America) Asia Pacific, South & Southeast Asia, Europe or Latin America and a country from that region. You gain the competitive advantage through relevant background courses as well as the study of a second business language and its related business culture, an optional study term, the work term, and the integrative international consulting project. The International Field Study, the 602, provides the opportunity to develop a thorough understanding of the environment, markets, technology and operations of an international organization. The 602 requires the comprehensive description and evaluation of an international organization (profit-seeking or nonprofit, large or small, entrepreneurial or mature, service or manufacturing), together with the appropriate recommendations for improved performance. You integrate the knowledge and skills acquired throughout the IMBA curriculum and further develop your skills by working productively in a team.

WENDY CHAPPEL SENIOR MANAGER OF RECRUITMENT, DEVELOPMENT & LEADERSHIP INTERNATIONAL BANKING, SCOTIABANK, TORONTO, CANADA During the four-month work term with Scotiabank, students are given hands-on exposure to one of the departments in International Banking. As most departments have direct contact with our offices outside Canada, the students benefit from international exposure and the bank benefits from the skills, knowledge and enthusiasm of the students. The work term also gives the bank the opportunity to assess students for future job opportunities, while students get the opportunity to assess the bank as a future employer. Weve hired a number of Schulich IMBA graduates into permanent positions with Scotiabank and look forward to continuing our relationship.
Study Abroad Employers place a high value on international experience and through Schulichs extensive network of academic exchanges, IMBAs build on their international knowledge and further enhance second or third language skills. An exchange provides real world exposure to the perspectives and business approaches of another country. You will build a global network with contacts youll have throughout your career.
International Language Study

Other IMBA region specialization languages may be considered. Past examples include: Portuguese, Cantonese, Hindi, Russian, Korean, and Serbo-Croatian.
Work Abroad
The IMBA work term abroad is one of the most memorable and meaningful experiences in the program.

WORK HARD
SEAN FLEMING (MBA 06) At Schulich, the support I received from my professors and peers exceeded all my expectations. Even before I arrived, I met with a faculty member in the specialization I was interested in Real Property Development. Since that first meeting, the professor continued to take an interest in my education and career prospects. From speaking with my peers, Im confident this experience is the norm, not the exception. I was impressed with the extremely cooperative and supportive culture here. Initially I was uncertain about how competitive my classmates would be, as Schulich is one of the top business schools in the world. It quickly became apparent that group work is a large part of the curriculum and that a collaborative attitude is fostered throughout the School. For me, this has made the entire experience more valuable.
ENRICHED LEARNING
The Schulich Experience is about community. Thats why youll begin your studies with an intensive Launch Week. Its part orientation and part icebreaker. Its there to make you feel at home even before regular classes start. Its a multifaceted, integrative experience that ensures youll hit the ground running. One of the hallmarks of management education at Schulich is real-world learning. Finding solutions is the easy part in real life, its identifying and dealing with the real problems and not just treating the symptoms, that is the hard part. The component that moves you well beyond even the case method, is our Strategy Field Study. It is the ultimate in integrative management learning and it is an intense, grueling process much like a business boot camp for elite executive recruits. These opportunities will enrich your learning. You will strengthen interpersonal and communications skills. Youll learn to negotiate and act entrepreneurially. Youll gain hands-on experience and an understanding of how to develop and implement effective strategies.

LAUNCH WEEK
All Schulich students take part in an intensive Launch Week that mixes fun and social interaction with orientation sessions. Youll be introduced to your fellow classmates, as well as to Schulichs Dean, faculty and staff. There is also a special panel presentation by CEOs to inspire you.
During your studies at Schulich, youll develop the skills needed to be a highly effective team member throughout your career. This learning process begins during Launch Week. Youll be coached on the principles of effective teamwork and leadership. And youll spend an entire day off campus in a range of challenging, inventive and highly rewarding team-building exercises. Your orientation will include a special tour of the Peter F. Bronfman Business Library, together with a workshop on research techniques. Therell be hands-on computer training, with special emphasis on the software used at Schulich to allow instructors and students from every course to interact with each other.
HERES WHAT STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY SABITHA KANAGASABAI (MBA 06) Walking across a tightrope (low to the ground of course!) and depending on teammates as our only physical support, was one of the team-building exercises I clearly remember during Launch Week. Its a truly fun experience and I formed strong bonds with my classmates. BRYNN WINEGARD (MBA 06) My most memorable experience during Launch Week was the CEO Panel. It was really encouraging to discover the success of Schulich Alumni and hear their advice for those of us starting out. This event set the tone for my degree and made me eager about my studies at Schulich.
The overall Schulich Experience is about learning to view the world from as many different perspectives as possible, and learning to embrace diversity as a competitive advantage. To this end, Launch Week provides special training in diversity and crosscultural management. It gets you started on thinking critically, on moving beyond a narrow bottom line framework of decisionmaking. Youll get a taste of the broad range of issues covered in the Strategies for Leadership and Governance course, from business ethics, sustainability and globalization, to corporate governance and the nonprofit sector.
HAISHENG (BRIAN) BIAN (MBA 06) Launch Week gives new students a chance to get to know their classmates and work on team-building skills. It provides initial hands-on experience in working with diverse teams. This was really helpful later in our studies as Schulich has such a diverse student body. JONATHAN PAIS (MBA 06) My best experience was the team building exercises in a completely fun and relaxed environment. I made some incredible friends which helped me tremendously as an international student and a newcomer to Canada and Schulich.

STUDY GROUPS
The Schulich experience is centred on a rich learning environment that will continually challenge your assumptions and push you to examine business from multiple perspectives. Working with classmates from diverse backgrounds professional, academic and cultural you will gain strong interpersonal and communication skills.
WORK HARD
It quickly becomes apparent that Schulich is all about study groups and team work. You learn this in your first week and you finish your degree with the ultimate team project. In between, youll be part of many study teams, just like in the real world. Youll hone critical soft skills that are essential for success in your career. You will learn to master negotiation skills, manage key group dynamics and meet deadlines. Youll learn not to let your team down.
Whether its a small group of two or three working informally in the CIBC marketplace, or a large group meeting in one of the many break-out rooms in the library, study groups are everywhere. Students also work on-line, through e-mail and instant messaging so that part-time students can travel with their work and stay connected to their study group.

T H E S T R AT E G Y F I E L D S T U D Y
The Strategy Field Study, known as the 601 for MBA students and the 602 for IMBAs, is a strategic consulting project carried out in real time for an existing company. An advisory group of three faculty directs each group from start to finish. In the 40 years since Schulich pioneered this course in Canada, student teams have completed over 3,000 studies in all sectors and industries. The organizations studied have ranged in nature from small to large, entrepreneurial to mature, service to manufacturing, and domestic to international.
By providing an opportunity to apply strategic thinking to a real organization, the Strategy Field Study takes you far beyond the traditional case method. It acts as a tool to integrate the various business disciplines you have been studying, and apply them in a holistic manner to the various stages of the study. Even before your course officially starts, youll form a 601 or 602 group with six to eight of your classmates. The study demands expertise across management functions and each group typically consists of individuals with varied experience and different areas of specializations. Because of the intensity of the project, effective teamwork is a major challenge. But youll be given strong support here. Through a series of action-learning initiatives, youll build on the broad range of qualitative skills first introduced during Launch Week. These new exercises are designed to enhance your communication, negotiation, interpersonal, teamwork and creative problem-solving skills. They also emphasize entrepreneurial thought and action.
Once your group is formed, youll identify the company or organization youd like to study and approach it with your proposal. You begin the first phase of the course by developing a thorough understanding of the external environment and markets of your organization, including an in-depth analysis of its competition. Youll also carry out research on the organization itself, including its technology and operations, its core strategy and policy, and the factors that result in its effectiveness. Next, you analyze your findings in order to be able to make recommendations for enhancing performance. These will include an evaluation of alternative strategies and their implications for the organization, supported by a detailed analysis and implementation plan. The final phases involve presentations. Youll first present your combined research findings and recommendations to your faculty advisors. Following that, youll present your final report to the organizations senior management and defend your groups recommendations.

CLAIRE NORMAN (MBA 04) ASSOCIATE CONSULTANT, GROUP BENEFITS CONSULTING, MORNEAU SOBECO Hands down, the Strategy Field Study, although tough and rigorous, was the most valuable experience of the entire program. Not only did I learn what it meant to work in a high-performing team, it also allowed me to apply my learning to a real company. I was amazed at the great opportunity the study team provided to meet and work with an incredibly diverse group of students. In my group, there were students from 6 different countries around the world. Never would I have had that kind of opportunity any other place. The Schulich MBA is one of the best choices I have made in my life.
Global Leadership Program

The Global Leadership Program takes the place of the traditional Strategy Field Study and involves creating a market entry strategy for a foreign company that is interested in entering the North American market or a Canadian company contemplating foreign markets. Students work in bilateral teams composed of five Schulich students, plus three to five students from a partner school. Previous partners include: the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania in the US; Copenhagen Business School (CBS) in Denmark; the Recanati School of Business, Tel Aviv University in Israel; the Management Development Institute of Argentina (IDEA) in Argentina; and the Monterrey Institute of Technology (ITESM) in Mexico. Neither knowledge of a foreign language nor direct ties to another country are necessary for participation in the program. However, groups are formed with a balance of technical, market research and international business skills.

EXPECT CHALLENGES
BRENDA ZIMMERMAN ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF POLICY AND DIRECTOR, HEALTH INDUSTRY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM Leading Schulichs new health initiative is exciting because my research interests in health care and complexity theory can be used to shape the program. Health care is a fascinating arena for those interested in both the theory and practice of complex, multi-stakeholder challenges. For example, in the past few years, I have begun research in the global HIV/AIDS pandemic. Although my research to date has focused primarily on the public and nonprofit sectors, I have become increasingly aware of the potential of the corporate sector to address HIV/AIDS. In 2005, we launched Strategy Field Study projects with student internships specifically designed to address the role of multinationals in HIV/AIDS. Research, teaching and advocacy come together in the Schulich Health Industry Management Program.

MAKE FRIENDS
JOSEPH KIM (MBA 06) FORMER PRESIDENT, GRADUATE BUSINESS COUNCIL The question I am most often asked is how do I get the maximum value from the Schulich Experience? The answer is get involved. Get involved with the community. Get involved with student causes. Get involved with social events. There is no question that in terms of academic value you are receiving the best education money can buy. However, it is what you do outside the classroom, outside the realm of academia, which makes the Schulich MBA priceless. It is these extra-curricular activities that will assist you in defining what your passions are, making life-long friendships, and creating those treasured memories that last a lifetime.
www.gbc.schulich.yorku.ca
STUDENT LIFE
Get involved. Be active. Thats a recurring message in the advice given by Schulich alumni. Take advantage of countless opportunities to enrich your formal, in-class learning with extracurricular activities. Attend one of the dozens of events that student-led organizations put on throughout the year, including guest lectures, expert panels and conferences. Hone your leadership skills as a member of the executives of these clubs. Represent the Schulich School at the annual Canada-wide MBA Games or at national Case Competitions. Join Schulich alumni at special events such as the annual James Gillies Alumni Lecture named in honour of the Schools Founding Dean. Youll build networks that will last a lifetime. Youll meet people from diverse backgrounds. And youll gain valuable experiences.

I also joined Schulichs Pre-MBA program prior to starting my studies. This training provided invaluable preparation for the MBA program. Between business case studies and tips for living in Canada (including a cultural orientation), I was well prepared to succeed in my studies.
