The courses taken during the Master of Management portion of the B+MM differ greatly from those taken during the Bachelor (undergraduate) portion. While the content is similar and builds off the COMM courses, the delivery is dramatically different.<\/p>\n
What's Different?<\/strong><\/p>\n NOTES:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n The following three courses run across several periods and are taken in addition to regular courses:<\/p>\n BA 520: Career Development<\/b>\u00a0Programming (CDP)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Working with the Hari B. Varshney Business Career Centre<\/a> and dedicated career coaches, MM students gain valuable career and professional\u00a0development skills\u00a0through a curriculum that includes: self- assessment, research techniques,\u00a0resume and cover-letter\u00a0writing, interviewing and networking. CDP is a crucial component of the MM degree and will aid in finding employment prior to or after degree completion. CDP will provide the necessary tools for continuous professional development.<\/p>\n BA 511: Community Business Project<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The Community Business Project (CBP) combines community service with academic learning. During the project period, the CBP engages MM students in collaborative project work that enables application of classroom knowledge to real-world consulting projects with companies in the greater Vancouver community that operate within the following categories:<\/p>\n The CBP builds community partnerships with organizations and community-based initiatives with strong social impacts. Through the CBP, students give back to their local communities by providing free business consulting services to organizations and projects that make a positive contribution to our local and global communities, citizens and environment.<\/p>\n The CBP provides a high level of added value to the MM degree given that it involves relevant real-world experience that both employers and graduate schools value.<\/p>\n BA 551: Capstone Course<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The Capstone course is the finale of the MM experience. Working in teams, students will complete an intensive simulation that will test their ability to make business and managerial decisions. Capstone will apply the different concepts and skills learned throughout the program in a simulated environment.<\/p>\n \n<\/div>\n MM students don't need to register themselves in courses for the MM program - the Robert H. Lee Graduate School will take care of registration for all MM students!<\/p>\n The curriculum is set and all students are required to take all courses. The RHL Graduate School will assign and register each student in one of the sections. NOTE:<\/em> students are not permitted to switch sections nor attend a section they are not registered in.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Please disregard any notices from UBC Central regarding registration for the Summer and\/or Winter session. The MM program is on a different schedule than the rest of the university so the messages about registration do not apply.<\/em><\/p>\n The cost of of textbooks, course packages, course fees and supplies is not included in the price of tuition. The estimated amount for these items is approximately $2,000 for the 6-month program.<\/p>\n Some courses may have a fee instead of a textbook. If this is the case the instructor should let students know via the course outline or in class. Payment can be made on the\u00a0Sauder Store website<\/a>.<\/p>\n NOTE: Course fees must be paid in order to receive credit for the course. Grades will be withheld from any student who does not pay the course fee.<\/em><\/p>\n Material for courses (packages & textbooks) will generally be available at the UBC Bookstore or online. Instructors should specify on the course outline what is needed and where to obtain them.<\/p>\n \n<\/div>\n Program schedule<\/strong><\/p>\n Exam Schedule<\/strong><\/p>\n NOTES:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n *Dates & courses offered may vary slightly from year to year. \n<\/div>\n Course outlines give an overview of course content, readings, activities, and evaluation methods. We try to have outlines up at least 3 weeks prior to the start of each Period and they will be linked to the course number below when they are ready. Course outlines for each course will also be posted on their respective Canvas Course Sites.<\/p>\n NOTE: <\/em>Students are expected to do any pre-readings and\/or preparation as noted on outlines and *Course topics are subject to change based upon scheduling and professor availability. <\/small><\/p>\n Courses that span several Periods:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n
