If you’re considering getting an MBA in Canada, there are lots of great options. Here, we dive into the details of Queens University\u2019s J.R. Smith School of Business.<\/p>\n

The What <\/h2>\n

Big city life got you down? Want to pursue your MBA somewhere you can, you know, breathe<\/em>? Well you, my friend, will want to take a look at Queens University\u2019s J.R. Smith School of Business<\/a>, located in Kingston, Ontario. A few hours drive from Toronto, Queens is an exemplary campus-focused school that does away with urban distractions in favor of a college town vibe and tightknit community. <\/p>\n

The biggest selling point of the Smith full-time MBA is its
\nteam-based approach. Students are divided into groups selected by behavioral
\npsychologists for diversity and 50% of course marks are awarded for team
\nperformance, so your team matters!  Each
\nteam also has a dedicated coach and team boardroom to work in \u2013nice bells and
\nwhistles that would be much more expensive in the city.<\/p>\n

Another key selling point for Smith is each student\u2019s four
\ncoaches: a team coach, a career development coach, an executive coach and a
\nwellness coach for student health. It\u2019s this student-centric approach that
\nseparates Smith from the pack.<\/p>\n

Finally, as a 12 month MBA, Smith\u2019s program is a great option for
\nthose who want to get to work in Canada, fast.<\/p>\n

The Who <\/h2>\n

Smith\u2019s MBA program distinguishes itself thanks to a
\ncomparatively high rate of international students for a Canadian program (43%),
\nand a small class size (82 students). The majority of graduates go into finance
\nor consulting, and 80% of students find post-graduation work in Canada.<\/p>\n

Bottom Line <\/h2>\n

For those seeking personal attention and an MBA that truly cares about your performance, Smith is a fantastic choice. Yes, you\u2019re living in small-town Canada, but the tradeoff is a ton of community and a good environment to prepare yourself for the Canadian job market.<\/p>\n
