Great:
- Fantastic courses in Strategy and Finance: such as Tiziana's Power and Influence, Anne Bower's Corporate Strategy, Dr. J. O'Dwyer's and Brendan Calder's GettingItDone, and Tim Rielly's Case Analysis and Presentaion!
- Fantastic support for professional development from their Self Development Lab, Industry Clubs; all of which help your presentation skills, resume writing, case preparation
Opportunities for Improvement:
- Marketing courses were subpar at best (e.g. Marketing Strategy, Branding), except for Delaine's Marketing research, where she brought in industry experts. It was unfortunate that the mediocre marketing courses, I that decided to drop my marketing specialization to pursue one in strategy
- Industry Advisor's did not have the alumni network power as communicated. I was extremely surprised to see that some of the network to be dated
- Perhaps similar to many schools, but the job employment rate, whether it's internship/full-time, is not as rosy as it sounds (e.g. 85% for internships, this number is inflated by small jobs, some of which last a week). I would say that it's important to be honest with your students as it is very stressful for them who have taken a lot of risk to enroll in such an expensive program
Rotman has a very good network with finance and consulting, and given their location, they bring in lots of opportunities in these spaces.

Hey. I can see this comment is very very old, so I dont know if this will be seen or not. But I am thinking about pursuing a marketing specialisation from Rotman, and I want to get into CPG Brand Management or Tech PMM. The employment report states that they send about 12% of their class into marketing functions, the third biggest chunk after finance/consulting. But you obviously had a very different experience. Could you explain a little bit more about how your experience with marketing specialisation at Rotman?
