Track Declaration & Module Registration

Posted on by

As you are part of the Part-time MBA Program, you will be automatically registered by the Graduate Programs Office into modules which take place from now until March 2014.

You will receive a message from the Graduate Programs Office in February 2014 which will ask you to declare your track selection and will be granted permission to self-register into modules that pertain to your track which will take place between April – July 2014. You need not worry about seat availability for any Cohort 11 – Part time MBA track modules as you and your classmates will have the highest priority when registering to these courses.

Note that you are not required to take any Full-time MBA modules as your program will offer a sufficient amount of weekend modules in order for you to fulfill your Track requirements and graduate.

If you do decide to take Full-time MBA courses, you would have second priority to register for these modules.

Internship Database and other resources

Posted on by

Hi Class,

As P2 comes to an end, we just wanted to highlight a few resources you can explore on Connect/myMBA Career and remind you of Mock Interview E on Interview Stream:

The Internship Database (on Connect=>myMBA Career)

This database allows you to search previous projects to get a glimpse at what former students have done during their three month summer window. Learning about which companies have taken a student in the past might be particularly interesting. You will also be able to read about their learning opportunities and challenges past MBAs faced during their summers from their own perspective.

You can search previous internships based on Year | Role/Title | Industry or Project Specialization.

Also, make sure you visit/research the Sauder Career Success Cycle and check the Book of Lists 2013 from Business in Vancouver (My PD Journey=>Phase 1).

Cheers,

BCC
