Program details
Overview
This Master of Business Administration, offered through Concordia's John Molson School of Business, uses timely case studies to present material the way real organizations present situations to managers, with a 45-credit structure combining 30 credits of mandatory core courses in financial reporting, managerial analytics, marketing, economics, financial management, organizational management, and strategic implementation with 15 credits of electives. Students choose electives from five concentration areas: accountancy, supply chain and business technology management, finance, management, and marketing, and may optionally complete a 6-credit MBA Research Paper; the program is otherwise course-based with no thesis requirement. Full-time or part-time study is offered on the Sir George Williams campus and normally takes two years. An optional co-op stream provides a paid, full-time internship of four or eight months. Admission requires a minimum of two years of relevant full-time work experience, making the program suited to working professionals seeking to build broad management skills or move into a specialized business function.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Concordia's general graduate admission requirements apply: applicants need a bachelor's degree in high standing (or an equivalent qualification recognised by the School of Graduate Studies) and a minimum of two years of relevant full-time work experience. A GMAT score is required for evaluation, though applicants who completed an eligible Canadian university degree may request a waiver; the program also asks for a letter of intent, evaluations from employers and former instructors, and an interview, with undergraduate grades and GMAT score weighed alongside them. Applicants whose first language is neither English nor French, and who are not Canadian citizens or landed immigrants, must satisfy the graduate English-language proficiency requirement (TOEFL or IELTS) described on Concordia's graduate admissions site; this program page does not publish exact minimum scores. The program admits for both Fall and Winter, with Canadian-resident deadlines of June 1 (Fall) and October 1 (Winter), and earlier U.S./international deadlines of March 1 and June 1 respectively.
Application Details
Start Date:September and January
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants, including Quebec CEGEP graduates, apply directly to Concordia: for Fall 2027 entry (September start) the application deadline is 1 March 2027, and for Winter 2027 entry (January start) it is 1 November 2026; not all programs admit in Winter. Concordia sets the same formal deadlines for U.S. and international applicants but strongly recommends applying earlier - by 1 February 2027 for Fall or 1 August 2026 for Winter - to allow time for immigration processing. Late applications are considered if space remains, and Concordia does not publish a separate application-opening date. Graduate programs, including the Executive MBA, set their own per-program deadlines rather than following this university-wide undergraduate date. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
