Program structure

The Master in Management (MM) program begins each fall and runs for 12 months, combining coursework with a capstone consulting project. This ensures a well-rounded and practical education in management principles. Students also have the option to extend their studies by four months to gain hands-on experience through a paid work term.

Is MM for you?

MM is for you if you:

  • recently finished your undergrad degree
  • just starting your career
  • value systems-thinking and applied learning
  • want to learn teamwork, collaboration and responsible leadership
  • seek to hone your technical skills in a particular industry

Learn by doing

When you’re at work, projects require you to draw on many different kinds of knowledge. Nothing is only an HR challenge, or only about finance.

Your degree should be good practice for this reality.

MM integrates topics through applied learning exercises like case studies, group projects and capstone consulting experiences that give you a chance to practice applying knowledge. And, if you want paid work experience during your degree, you have the option to extend your MM by 4 months and complete a work term with an organization.
