Overview

The Master of Business Administration program at the University of Alberta is a challenging and rigorous program that demands a significant investment of time and energy but pays dividends many times over in knowledge, understanding, skills, and strong friendships that last the length of the program and beyond. Designed to allow you to continue working while completing the MBA, students would typically complete the program within three-to-four years. However, you would have up to six years to complete the degree. The part-time program offers all of the benefits of the full-time program, but allows flexibility in the number of courses taken each term.

Learning outcomes

The curriculum is the same for that of the full-time MBA, with all students developing a foundation in key business fundamentals. Areas covered include: accounting, business strategy, economics, finance, management science, marketing, and organizational behaviour. You would then be able to tailor your program to best match your career aspirations with elective courses or pursue a specific specialization.
