All MBA students are required to register for both the Fall (Sept-Dec) and Winter (Jan-Apr) terms, unless they have received approval from the Goodman School of Business for interruption of their graduate program or have completed their graduate degree requirements. Failure to register will be interpreted as withdrawal from the program.

Part Time Students

Required courses are cycled into the evenings approximately every two years. If you would like assistance in preparing a program plan that helps you meet your goals, please contact Phil for an appointment.
It is important to note that part time students who are unable to complete courses during the day may find it very challenging to complete a specialization other than the General MBA.

Do you wish to have a specialization noted on your MBA degree?

You will take a total of six electives in your MBA program. If you take five or more courses in the same field (i.e., marketing or finance), with the exception of the MBA CPA Pathway, the specialty field will appear on your degree. Otherwise, your degree will say MBA [without any specialty].

 Please be aware that although we endeavour to offer the specialty streams in terms three and four of the MBA each year, the possibility exists that a stream may not be offered.

 It should also be noted that submitting a request to a specialization does not guarantee that a student will be able to join that specialization or meet the requirements of that specialization.  Specializations may be limited based on course capacity and will be available to qualified students in the order they have submitted their request.

Not sure what you need to take?

Please consult the relevant program plan for the MBA General, Part-time MBA, or specific specializations you wish to pursue prior to registration.
Once registered please contact our Academic Coordinator to ensure your requirements are being met.

Course Descriptions are available for download.

Looking for other options?

Consider an independent study elective (MBAB 5P91, 5P92, 5F91) under the supervision of a faculty member. The student is responsible for finding an appropriate and willing supervisor. The project itself can take many forms as long as it contains about 120 hours of work. All project proposals must be approved by the faculty supervisor and the Associate Dean of Graduate Programs. Please contact our Academic Coordinator for an appointment.

In very rare cases, it is also possible for graduate students to take a fourth-year undergraduate course as an elective. Check the undergraduate timetable for possibilities and contact our Academic Coordinator with your preference. He will assess the feasibility of your request at that time.
