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 British Columbia\u2019s Sauder School of Business. <\/p>\n

The What <\/h2>\n

Do you love the West Coast? Sushi? The Great Outdoors? Want to spend a year the yoga capital of Canada<\/a> with Seattle just a hop skip and a jump across the border? <\/p>\n

Of course you do!<\/p>\n

The Sauder School of Business<\/a> is The University of British Columbia\u2019s MBA program, and your best bet on the West Coast. That gives it a totally different culture from Ontario and Quebec-based schools, one even more focused on access to Asian markets. That\u2019s not to discount the schools\u2019 Canadian focus: as the big dog out West, plenty of Canadian employers recruit from Sauder to fill out the ranks of their West Coast offices in Canada\u2019s third largest metropolis. <\/p>\n

Sauder\u2019s international connections are more China-focused, with
\nthe opportunity to study part time in Shanghai and a decent alumni network in
\nmajor Chinese cities. You\u2019ll also have comparatively easier access to Canada\u2019s
\nmassive and technologically advanced energy industry.<\/p>\n

The Who <\/h2>\n

Sauder has a balanced applicant pool coming from (yes) Finance
\n(20%) but also Engineering (19%), Construction (12%) and Natural Resources
\n(10%), among others. With slightly lower job placement rates and average
\nstarting salaries than Canada\u2019s other top schools, Sauder is focused on
\nstudents who want to study in Vancouver, British Columbia. That\u2019s no minor
\ndetail: as Canada\u2019s premier west coast city, the greater Vancouver area is a
\nboom town with plenty of opportunities and a high and growing percentage of
\nChinese (19.6%) and South Asian (12%) residents. Chances are, if you\u2019re
\nthinking Sauder, you\u2019re thinking Vancouver for personal or professional
\nreasons. Or maybe you just want to live in Canada without living through
\nnear-arctic winters (we can\u2019t blame you)!<\/p>\n

Bottom Line <\/h2>\n

Sauder\u2019s excellent location, varied class intake and deep connections to both the Canadian West Coast and Asia-Pacific make it the ideal choice for anyone looking to study in Canada while keeping a foot in Asia.<\/p>\n
