Wilfrid Laurier University – Toronto Campus - MBA

Wilfrid Laurier MBA Program Structure

During the 3.3-year alternate weekend Wilfrid Laurier part-time MBA, students will complete a general MBA and one of nine specialization fields. Like all Laurier MBA candidates, Toronto students will also take part in a Not-for-Profit Practicum. Students will choose between a 40-hour practicum with a local organization or an extended international project. Classes begin in early April of each year.

Curriculum

The Wilfrid Laurier part-time MBA program will equip students with all of the things that come with a standard full-time MBA program. The MBA degree requires 8 integrated core courses, plus an Applied Business Research Consulting project, a Not-for-Profit practicum, and the choice between one of nine fields of specialization. A specialization is a field in which a student has a minimum of four courses completed in that area. At Laurier they are:

Accounting
Entrepreneurship
Financial Management
International Business Management
Marketing
Operations Management
Organizational Behaviour & Human Resource Management
Strategic Management
Supply Chain Management

Students spend ten terms over 3.3 years earning their MBA. The first 4 terms are spent covering the “integrated core” and the following six are spent alternating between electives and special projects. Classes are scheduled alternating weekends starting Friday 7-9:30 p.m., Saturday 8:15 a.m.-5:15 p.m.

There are no classes during July and August.

If students also pursue a CPA Designation with their MBA, it will push the total time from 3.3 years to four years or 11 terms. The first four terms still cover the integrated core courses. The next seven terms cover specific CPA courses like Taxation and Advanced Corporate Finance. The final term will include the two-part capstone course.

If applicants choose to add a Master of Finance, they require an additional 12 credit courses on top of what’s required for the MBA degree. This will take around four years or 11 terms. The first four terms still cover the integrated core courses. Terms 5-10 will include the entire Master of Finance course load. Term eleven and twelve include one elective each and an applied business research project and the Not-for-Profit Practicum.
