Program details
Overview
The Online Master of Business Administration at University Canada West is a two-year graduate degree delivered entirely online, with intakes running four times a year in Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer. The program is accredited by the ACBSP and carries the NCMA designation, and it is organized into five phases: a preparatory new-student orientation, four terms of core coursework covering ethics, accounting, talent management, analytics, finance, operations, leadership, and marketing, and a final term built around capstone options such as a consulting project, a venture launch, a practicum, or an academic research project. As in the on-campus MBA, students can pursue specializations in Entrepreneurship, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Leadership, Supply Chain Management, or Business Analytics, alongside elective areas including Human Resources, Financial Management, Digital Marketing, Leadership, and Project Management. The curriculum incorporates partnerships with technology companies such as AWS, Salesforce, Shopify, and Tableau, giving students access to industry certification opportunities alongside their degree coursework. The program is delivered fully online and supports both full-time and part-time study within a cohort-based structure. It suits working professionals seeking to combine ongoing employment with graduate-level business education, though the university notes that international students graduating from its online programs are not eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit.
