Advanced Management Content

A curriculum tailored to practising managers with an undergraduate business degree In traditional MBA programs, most students do not have an undergraduate degree in business. For this reason, a great deal of time is spent teaching management fundamentals. The curriculum for Queen’s MBA for Business Graduates has been designed to be complementary and additive to the content of your undergraduate business program. Rather than relearning fundamental concepts you have already studied, the program focuses on advanced management topics that can help you take your career to the next level.

An Integrated Curriculum

In the program, you will learn to approach business issues in an integrated and comprehensive way and develop an understanding of how management decisions can have an impact across an organization and beyond. The curriculum is built on five learning themes – Leadership; Strategic Thinking; Global Business; Creativity, Innovation and Entrepreneurship; and Corporate Social Responsibility.

Certificate in Socially Responsible Leadership

During the program, you will also have the opportunity to pursue a Certificate in Socially Responsible Leadership. In addition to mandatory courses in Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility, the Certificate requires a minimum of 20 hours of CSR-related volunteer work, attendance at a CSR conference, some additional reading on the topic of socially responsible leadership, and a CSR focus on selected assignments.

"The team-based approach was powerful. Working with people from a variety of backgrounds and seeing the unique talents and perspective they each brought to the table was amazing. I found that we were constantly learning from each other."
