Program details

Overview

SFU Beedie's Full-Time MBA runs 16 months, including a four-month paid internship, and is based at the Segal Graduate School of Business in downtown Vancouver. After a core curriculum covering the standard business fundamentals, students choose among five areas of specialized coursework and can move straight into a full-time role once the roughly year of academic coursework is done, using the internship as a bridge into industry. The program is built for recent graduates and early-career professionals rather than seasoned executives, with career coaching, mentorship and networking with industry leaders woven through the curriculum alongside the academic content, and cohorts that run close to an even gender split.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 3.00 / 4.33
Admission Requirements: Beedie's admissions page requires an undergraduate degree with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0/4.33 (B); traditional work experience is valued but not required, reflecting the program's openness to diverse professional backgrounds. A GMAT or GRE score is required unless a waiver applies, with recommended benchmarks of 550 on the GMAT, 515 on the GMAT Focus Edition, or 155 in each GRE section. Applicants whose first language is not English must submit an IELTS Academic overall band of 6.5 with a minimum of 6.0 in each section, a TOEFL iBT of 90 overall with a minimum of 20 in each section (4.5 overall with 4.0 per section under the test's newer scale from 21 January 2026), or a Pearson PTE overall score of 65 with a minimum of 60 in each section. Shortlisted candidates are invited to a virtual interview once their application and supporting documents are reviewed.
