Ivey Launches 12-Month MBA Program

The University of Western Ontario's top-rated Ivey School of Business has enrolled the first class of students in its new 12-month, cross-disciplinary MBA program.

The 12-month program was established in late 2005. It will will admit two classes each year, in May and October. Each intake will have about 65 students.

The 12-month MBA program is part of Ivey's conversion to a Cross-Enterprise Leadership curriculum. The program will encourage students to approach management across traditional disciplinary lines such as finance, accounting, and marketing. It will also focus on developing students' personal leadership skills. The curriculum is meant to train high-performing managers who can function beyond traditional job roles and manage their organizations as an integrated whole.

Ivey's 12 month MBA program differs from EMBA programs of similar length in that it does not require the amount of work experience that executive MBA programs do. (Ivey applicants are required to have at least two years of work experience, whereas EMBA applicants typically need a minimum of seven years' experience.)
