Program Overview

MM Class of 2024 Academic Calendar

WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT THE MM?

      • In the MM, all students progress through the program within a set, standard curriculum.
      • Each Master of Management 1.5 credit course falls within a "Period".
      • A Period is equal to about half a Term with 5 weeks of concurrent instruction followed immediately by 1 week of evaluation (total 6 weeks).
      • There are 4-5 courses per Period - a lot to pack into a short time-frame, so dig in and be prepared!

NOTE: Due to the set curriculum, successful completion of every course is mandatory.

UNIQUE ELEMENTS

The following three courses run across several periods and are taken in addition to regular courses:

BA 520: Career Development Programming (CDP)

Working with the Hari B. Varshney Business Career Centre and dedicated career coaches, MM students gain valuable career and professional development skills through a curriculum that includes: self- assessment, research techniques, resume and cover letter writing, 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.

BA 511: Community Business Project

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 non-profits and social enterprises in the greater Vancouver community.

The CBP builds community partnerships with organizations and community-based initiatives with strong social impacts. Through this course, 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.

BA 551: Capstone Course

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.

NOTES:

Students are required to attend all classes and mandatory career professional development sessions during each Period. Students can miss up to 20% of each course and can apply for an academic concession for their absence. More information on academic concessions can be found under Academic Regulations.

Peer Assisted Study Sessions

PEER ASSISTED STUDY SESSIONS (PASS)

The RHL Graduate School is pleased to offer Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) for some of your foundational courses. Peer Assisted Study Sessions are highly interactive, 60-90 minute, small group sessions (3-12 people) that help students develop deeper knowledge of course content and practice effective, discipline-specific study strategies.

Sessions are led by year-two MBA students and are planned in consultation with course instructors and TA’s.  Content is typically based on the previous week’s lecture material, but is flexible based on attendees’ needs.

Additional information will be provided in-class for those courses offering this option.

As they become available, check each Canvas course site to see if PASS is offered for that particular course. If it is, session times/topics, and information on registration for upcoming sessions will be provided.
