| Prerequisites Notes | Admission to the program is competitive and the number of candidates admitted is limited. Admission will be granted only to those who clearly demonstrate a high promise of success in the MBA program. Admission to the master of business administration program is open to candidates: holding a Canadian baccalaureate degree or its equivalent with minimum standing of B, or a 70 per cent overall average. The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies will determine the equivalency of qualifications for applicants from non-Canadian institutions. In addition, a limited number of candidates may be considered for admission on the basis of substantial managerial or professional training and experience (at least 10 years), provided there is strong evidence of management responsibilities and career progression, even if they do not hold a university degree or do not meet the minimum academic requirements; having acquired a minimum of two years full-time work experience. In general, preference is given to those applicants who have greater work experience, particularly when there is evidence of management responsibilities and career progression. Co-op placements and work internships completed to meet the requirements of a postsecondary academic program will be viewed favourably at the time of admission, but do not constitute a replacement for the full-time work experience requirement; having achieved at least a 50th percentile score on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), with strong standing for each individual test component, including at least a 4.5 score on analytical essay writing. Applications for the GMAT can be obtained from Educational Testing Service, Box 966-R, Princeton, New Jersey, USA, 08540; consult www.mba.com for more details. | | |

he MBA program is conceived for candidates with at least three years of work experience. The program may be completed on a full-time basis over twelve (12) consecutive months.
