Schulich MBA elective courses:
The choice of electives to complete a Schulich degree program is entirely up to the student (respecting co-requisite and prerequisite requirements). Students are not required to choose a major. Instead, they are encouraged to select those electives that best suit their backgrounds and career interests. For a further discussion of using electives to develop one or more areas of expertise, see Area and Program Information. Each of the 19 areas lists available study options, including developing a concentration in a functional or program area; completing a Graduate Diploma program concurrently with a degree program, or taking a specialized degree program (e.g. the Master of Public Administration).
By limiting the number of Required Foundations of Management Core Courses in each degree program, the Schulich School provides students with the opportunity to select a significant number of courses from the more than 100 electives it offers. The result is a rich opportunity to select from 19 available areas and programs, including management functions such as finance and marketing; industries or sectors such as financial services, public management, nonprofit management and leadership; or management topics such as international business, entrepreneurship, and business and the environment. Most electives are taken in Year 2 of a degree program. One elective is required in Year 1.
Students are encouraged to specialize in more than one area. Schulich does not, however, require that its graduates specialize. Many students already possess a specialization and find that their on-going careers are enhanced by selecting a wide variety of elective courses that add greater breadth to existing knowledge and skills.
