If you’re considering getting an MBA in Canada, there are lots of great options. Here, we dive into the details of The University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management. <\/p>\n

The What <\/h2>\n

Rotman (or, more properly, The University of Toronto\u2019s Rotman School of Management<\/a>) is Canada\u2019s largest, most diverse and most recognized MBA program, and the one most likely to turn heads outside Canada\u2019s borders. If you\u2019re looking for name recognition and reputation in Canada, Rotman\u2019s your best bet. Rotman graduates have great prospects in Finance and Consulting, with over 50% of alumni finding work in these two industries. Tech and Consumer Goods are also well represented, and companies worldwide draw from the school\u2019s pool of graduates. <\/p>\n

Rotman\u2019s MBA is an accelerated 16 months (plus a four month internship), quicker than many global MBAs, which can make it an attractive option for those seeking to quickly rejoin the workforce. The MBA program has a reputation for research, which can be seen in the focus on \u201clabs\u201d \u2013 most notably the Creative Destruction Lab<\/a>. This is one of the world\u2019s fastest-growing venture projects, having invested $1B+ since 2012. <\/p>\n

For those looking for a more \u201cwoke\u201d MBA program, there are also opportunities like \u201cBehavioral Economics in Action at Rotman<\/a>\u201d ( BEAR) which investigates implicit bias to help students design better products, and \u201cGender and the Economy<\/a>\u201d (GATE) which studies inequality in business. This wider perspective reflects Rotman\u2019s status as a public institution, which is rare in the top echelon of U.S. MBA programs.<\/p>\n

The Who <\/h2>\n

Rotman grads are 51% international and 49% Canadian. That\u2019s not
\nthe whole story, however, because the \u201cCanadians\u201d category includes a diverse swath
\nof naturalized citizens. When these students are factored in, more than 60% of
\nRotman students were born outside of Canada, ensuring an even wider range of
\nexperiences. <\/p>\n

Perhaps surprisingly, only 27% of students come from a Finance
\nor Commerce background, compared to 32% from Engineering and Applied Sciences.
\nThis makes Rotman an attractive option for those seeking to switch careers. We
\nweren\u2019t kidding when we said the school was diverse!<\/p>\n

Rotman has particularly strong ties with India, the country that
\ncontributes to the most international students to the school\u2019s intake (China
\ncomes in second). Finally, given the opportunities that exist to land a work
\npermit and permanent residency after graduation, it helps if your goals fit with
\nthe major industries in Toronto. <\/p>\n

Bottom Line <\/h2>\n

Rotman is currently the top-ranked MBA program in Canada, and its prestige, classroom offerings, and job placement programs make the Canadian job market your oyster. It\u2019s an obvious choice for those who wish to work in Canada, particularly in Consulting and Finance\u2014all the big names recruit here for their Canadian operations. You\u2019ll also have access to great and ever-growing opportunities internationally, particularly with it\u2019s expanding networks in India and China. Its location in Toronto, Canada\u2019s biggest and most diverse city, offers amazing culture, proximity to the U.S., and access to plenty of multinational employers, which means strong offers and access to the North American market, post-graduation. <\/p>\n
