collageThe Haskayne Daytime MBA program is classroom-based and combines block week classes, daytime classes in your first year and evening classes in your second year (in combination with our Evening MBA students).
There is one intake of the Daytime program each year commencing in August. Classes take place mainly on our main campus in Scurfield Hall with some evening classes at our downtown campus.
This format offers you a number of benefits:
- Easy access to support from the faculty, program team and other on-campus resources
- Opportunity to complete the program in a shorter time if you choose to study over Spring / Summer
- Extensive learning opportunities from your classmates in addition to your faculty
- Networking opportunities with both the Daytime and Evening MBA cohorts
- Flexible delivery model offers you the choice to work full-time (domestic students) or part time (international students) in the second year
- Interact with students from around the world and learn about doing business globally through a two-or six-week spring/summer international exchange
ACCELERATED OPTIONS
Students who have completed an undergraduate business degree in Canada may be eligible for up to 9 course waivers (post curriculum review). A minimum of 15 courses are required to complete the program; any student with more than 5 core course waivers would substitute additional electives for the remaining courses. In addition to completing the program in less time, this option also saves you money as tuition is charged on a per course basis.
Students may also choose to accelerate their program by opting to complete additional courses during the Spring and Summer semesters.
Please note: All cohorts have a required course scheduled in Spring
