It is a one year intensive MBA program that prepares you to start your journey! All students must provide two letters of recommendations preferably from current or ex bosses. It is better not to provide an academic letter of recommendation as MBA is a fully hands on work degree, and it is in direct opposition to master of science or master of art degrees. The GMAT average is around 650 and IELTS or TOEFL is required for international students (also there might be some exceptions). After completing the degree you will be given a one-year post graduation work permit visa. It is important to note that only programs that are more than 24 months of length give you opportunity to get a three-year graduation work permit visa. You can communicate with administration office through mba@hec.ca. Based on current tuition and rankings available HEC has the best return on investment.
