RICK KOTICK (MBA ’06) “I chose Schulich’s 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, Schulich’s

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 summerto work full-time, be involved as Vice-President of the Graduate Business Council and lighten my course loadthe 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 alsosocially. 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 soonas I decided to complete my MBA and didn’t want to wait until September. Because I had a BCom degree,I qualified for Schulich’s 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 MBApart-time while working downtown. I chose Schulich’s flexible part-time option because it offered methe advantage of attending classes downtown as well as at York’s main campus.”

Take classes during the day, in theevening or on weekends. Finish a full-time MBA in only 16 months. Or take an“Accelerated MBA” in as few as 8 months.

Where you study. Attend classes in Schulich’s state-of-the-art home on York’s maincampus, or downtown at King and Bay, in the Miles S. Nadal Management Centre.

Nadia Orawski (MBA ‘07) Chen Yang Li (IMBA ‘06)


Your Schulich MBA gives you a competitive advantage, regardless ofthe field you’re in. Today’s globalized world is both complex andfast-paced and your success in it will depend in part on your masteryof major management disciplines.

Equally important will be your judgment – how well you identifyproblems, not just solve them; how well you deal with ambiguityand uncertainty; how effectively you examine issues from multipleperspectives before making decisions. From your first week ofclasses, you’ll have opportunity after opportunity to strengthenyour skills in all these areas. Success will depend on how well youwork with others to achieve results. Developing your communication,presentation, interpersonal and group management skills will beintegral to your MBA studies.

Another success factor will be how well you differentiate yourselffrom your peers. Schulich’s 18 areas of specialization make thispossible. Through your selection of elective courses from thesespecialized streams, you will become expert in one or more areas,including management functions, industries and special businessissues. Certain specializations such as Real Property Development

include the option of earning an additional Graduate Diploma atthe same time as you complete your degree.

Schulich’s exceptional choice will add value to your degree. Sowill relevance. At every opportunity, Schulich faculty bring the realworld into the classroom in the form of case studies, simulationsand guest lectures. The make-up of each class also mirrors the realworld. Our student body is among the most diverse anywhere. Andthis diversity of backgrounds and experience translates into real-world, multiple points of view. Faculty are skilled in drawing onthe varied perspectives of students in their classes. The result is apowerful and engaging classroom environment.

But the component that will move you well beyond even thecase method is the School’s one-of-a-kind capstone course – theStrategy Field Study. Considered to be “the ultimate in integrativemanagement learning”, each study is a six-month strategic consulting project carried out by a team of students. It’s how youapply your learning and strategic thinking in the real-world.

Fast Track OptionComplete the Schulich MBA in just 16 months with the option tostudy year round. Take 4 terms back-to-back, fast track your MBAand focus on accelerating your career.

Accelerated MBAWith a business degree – BBA or BCOM – and 2 years post-degreework experience, you may qualify for the Accelerated MBA. You willshorten your length of study to two terms or eight months. You needa 4-year honours degree within the past ten years from an approveduniversity, and a ‘B’ average in your last two years of study.

Advanced Standing/Waiver with ReplacementAnother great Schulich option! Advanced standing is awarded on acourse-by-course basis with a BBA or BCOM degree. You may beexempt from some courses and can shorten your degree by one ortwo courses up to nearly two terms. Or, if you have business coursesin your undergraduate degree, you may qualify to replace somecourses with Schulich electives – and get the most out of your studies.

Part-time StudySchulich’s MBA is one of the most flexible available. Complete theprogram in 10 terms (approximately three years). Study part-timeduring the day, evening or weekend at the Keele campus, or studydowntown at King and Bay. The evening program consists of twoevenings a week. For the weekend format, you attend classesSaturday and Sunday on alternating weekends.

The Schulich full-time and part-time MBA are the same greatprograms – the only difference is the schedule. Tailor yourprogram to meet your career and lifestyle needs.

Switch between Part-time and Full-time

Customize your schedule and switch between part-time and full-time. Part-time students can switch to full-time for any semesterincluding a study term abroad. It is also common for students nearthe end of the part-time program to switch to full-time and finishthe program more quickly.

Full-time students often switch to part-time during the summerto reduce the course load in the second year – another great wayto take advantage of Schulich’s flexible program.

Business managers who can operate across cultural boundarieshave a strong competitive advantage. Schulich’s IMBA equips you with the ability to think and act effectively in cross-culturaland multi-cultural environments and contexts, be it abroad or inyour home country.

Because the IMBA Program is an exclusive program, you willenjoy personal attention and interact one-on-one with bothprofessors and fellow classmates who have come from both Canadaand around the world.

The IMBA offers expertise through specially designed internationalmanagement courses and Schulich’s 18 specialization options.IMBA students focus on one major international trading region (in addition to North America) – Asia Pacific, South & SoutheastAsia, Europe or Latin America – and a country from that region.

You gain the competitive advantage through relevant backgroundcourses as well as the study of a second business language and itsrelated business culture, an optional study term, the work term, andthe integrative international consulting project.

The International Field Study, “the 602”, provides the opportunityto develop a thorough understanding of the environment, markets,technology and operations of an international organization. The602 requires the comprehensive description and evaluation of aninternational organization (profit-seeking or nonprofit, large orsmall, entrepreneurial or mature, service or manufacturing),together with the appropriate recommendations for improvedperformance. You integrate the knowledge and skills acquiredthroughout the IMBA curriculum and further develop your skillsby working productively in a team.

exposure to the perspectives and business

approaches of another country. You will

“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. We’ve hired a number of Schulich IMBA graduates into permanent

positions with Scotiabank and look forward to continuing our relationship.”

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, I’m 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.”

The Schulich Experience is about community. That’s why you’ll begin your studieswith an intensive “Launch Week”. It’s part orientation and part icebreaker. It’s there to make you feel at home even before regular classes start. It’s a multi-faceted, integrative experience that ensures you’ll “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, it’s identifying and dealing with thereal problems and not just treating the symptoms, that is the hard part. Thecomponent that moves you well beyond even the case method, is our Strategy FieldStudy. 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 interpersonaland communications skills. You’ll learn to negotiate and act entrepreneurially.You’ll gain hands-on experience and an understanding of how to develop andimplement effective strategies.

Peter F. Bronfman Business Library Nick Chambers (MBA ‘09) Easy access to the resources you need Alexandra Smith (IMBA ‘06)


During your studies at Schulich, you’ll develop the skills neededto be a highly effective team member throughout your career. Thislearning process begins during Launch Week. You’ll be coachedon the principles of effective teamwork and leadership. And you’llspend an entire day off campus in a range of challenging, inventiveand highly rewarding team-building exercises.

Your orientation will include a special tour of the Peter F.Bronfman Business Library, together with a workshop on researchtechniques. There’ll be hands-on computer training, with specialemphasis on the software used at Schulich to allow instructors andstudents from every course to interact with each other.

The overall Schulich Experience is about learning to view theworld from as many different perspectives as possible, and learningto embrace diversity as a competitive advantage. To this end,Launch Week provides special training in diversity and cross-cultural management. It gets you started on thinking critically, onmoving beyond a narrow “bottom line” framework of decision-making. You’ll get a taste of the broad range of issues covered inthe “Strategies for Leadership and Governance” course, frombusiness ethics, sustainability and globalization, to corporategovernance and the nonprofit sector.

L A U N C H W E E K

All Schulich students take part in an intensive “Launch Week” that mixes fun and social interaction with orientation

sessions. You’ll be introduced to your fellow classmates, as well as to Schulich’s Dean, faculty and staff. There is also

a special panel presentation by CEOs to inspire you.

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. It’s 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.”

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.”

HERE’S WHAT STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY…


It quickly becomes apparent that Schulich is all about study groupsand team work. You learn this in your first week and you finishyour degree with the ultimate team project. In between, you’ll bepart of many study teams, just like in the real world.

You’ll hone critical “soft skills” that are essential for success inyour career. You will learn to master negotiation skills, manage keygroup dynamics and meet deadlines. You’ll learn not to let yourteam down.

Whether it’s a small group of two or three working informally inthe CIBC marketplace, or a large group meeting in one of themany ‘break-out’ rooms in the library, study groups areeverywhere. Students also work on-line, through e-mail andinstant messaging so that part-time students can travel with theirwork and stay connected to their study group.

S T U D Y G R O U P S

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.

By providing an opportunity to apply strategic thinking to a realorganization, the Strategy Field Study takes you far beyond thetraditional case method. It acts as a tool to integrate the variousbusiness disciplines you have been studying, and apply them in aholistic manner to the various stages of the study.

Even before your course officially starts, you’ll form a 601 or 602group with six to eight of your classmates. The study demandsexpertise across management functions and each group typicallyconsists of individuals with varied experience and different areas ofspecializations.

Because of the intensity of the project, effective teamwork isa major challenge. But you’ll be given strong support here.Through a series of action-learning initiatives, you’ll build on the broad range of qualitative skills first introduced duringLaunch Week. These new exercises are designed to enhance yourcommunication, negotiation, interpersonal, teamwork and creativeproblem-solving skills. They also emphasize entrepreneurialthought and action.

Once your group is formed, you’ll identify the company ororganization you’d like to study and approach it with yourproposal. You begin the first phase of the course by developing athorough understanding of the external environment and marketsof your organization, including an in-depth analysis of its competition.You’ll also carry out research on the organization itself, includingits technology and operations, its core strategy and policy, and thefactors that result in its effectiveness. Next, you analyze your findingsin order to be able to make recommendations for enhancingperformance. These will include an evaluation of alternativestrategies and their implications for the organization, supported bya detailed analysis and implementation plan.

The final phases involve presentations. You’ll first presentyour combined research findings and recommendations to yourfaculty advisors. Following that, you’ll present your final report tothe organization’s senior management and defend your group’srecommendations.

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.

The Global Leadership Program takes the place of the traditional Strategy Field Study andinvolves creating a market entry strategy for a foreign company that is interested in entering theNorth American market or a Canadian company contemplating foreign markets. Students workin bilateral teams composed of five Schulich students, plus three to five students from a partnerschool. Previous partners include: the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania in the US;Copenhagen Business School (CBS) in Denmark; the Recanati School of Business, Tel AvivUniversity in Israel; the Management Development Institute of Argentina (IDEA) in Argentina;and the Monterrey Institute of Technology (ITESM) in Mexico. Neither knowledge of a foreignlanguage 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 internationalbusiness skills.

“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.”

“We believe that ongoing interaction between faculty and students is central to enhancing the educational experience at Schulich. In the CIBC Marketplace students and faculty routinely interact on an informal basis. I’ve had many invaluable conversations over coffeeafter class, and the learning that has taken place has been tremendous.”


BRENDA ZIMMERMAN

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF POLICY AND DIRECTOR, HEALTH INDUSTRY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

“Leading Schulich’s 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.”

energy as demonstrated by the lively discussions in each class. He has an

outstanding passion and knowledge for the subject matter and an ability to explore

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

BETTINA LAVINA (MBA’06) (left picture) “Involvement in the York Consulting Group (YCG) gave me the opportunity to apply theories I learned in the classroom to real,

live client projects. I exchanged ideas with amazing individuals – both classmates and faculty – and gained valuable, real-world consulting experience.”

ALLAN YU (MBA’06) (right picture) “Competing in the L’Oréal E-Strat Challenge took my Schulich experience to an entirely new level. Utilizing the skills I’d gained

during my MBA studies, and the experiences and talent of my team members, we created a synergistic strategy and applied it throughout the competition. We were

challenged and encouraged to go beyond our capabilities to make the best choices as business leaders and see real-world results.”
