Queen’s is one of Canada’s premier universities, with a tradition of producing quality research for over a century-and-a-half. Queen’s School of Business has earned a reputation nationally and internationally for innovation and excellence. Behind our success are superb students, programs that keep pace with the changing needs of academia and business, and a culture that fosters new ideas.

The foundation of any great business school is its faculty. Our professors are exploring promising new research paths, often collaborating with students to open up fresh avenues of study.

And with their unique insights they are creating new programs and centres at Queen’s – which in turn enrich the graduate student experience.

As a PhD or MSc in Management student, you will work with professors who come from all over the world, with a vast range of private- and public-sector experience. They are driven by a passion for their work, and thrive on inspiring their students to share that passion. You will become part of a School where graduate students can reach their potential in an intellectually challenging and exciting environment.

I encourage you to explore the opportunities that a graduate degree from Queen’s School of Business offers.

First offered in 1978, Queen’s PhD Program in Management has recently benefited from a major curriculum review, the infusion of new faculty, a very competitive funding package, and the opening of Goodes Hall, the impressive new facilities of Queen’s School of Business. The PhD program provides an interdisciplinary perspective and the analytical skills critical for understanding and researching the management process.

Our MSc program, introduced in 1997, has already acquired an impressive reputation. Our one-year MSc program is designed to enhance students’ knowledge of a particular field of specialization, and to develop their analytical, problem-solving and research skills.

Consistent with the major research-based goal of both programs, most PhD students go on to distinguished academic careers at universities worldwide, with increasing numbers of MSc students proceeding onto doctoral studies at Queen’s and elsewhere.
