I am trying to decide on which school/program to attend. I plan to stay in my current career (FP&A) but want to learn more knowledge in strategic management and Corporate finance in order to expand my portfolio and build new connections. Location wise, I haven't decided whether I would want to work in Canada or Asia in the future.
Here are the programs I am considering and my thoughts/concerns on each. I would appreciate if someone can provide their points of view as well:
Rotman MFin:
- Completion date: Apr 2023 (This is pretty late in my point of view).
- My goal is to gain more knowledge in Corporate Finance, but this program has a lot of courses focusing on derivatives, portfolio management and so on. I feel the breadth and depth of this program is way more than what I need.
- Rotman seems to have very good reputation for their Masters programs, and U of T definitely has the best reputation in Asian countries. Is that worth the late completion time and additional tuition fees?
Queen's Accelerated MBA:
- Completion date: Dec 2021.
- The curriculum has courses like Leadership and Innovation, which to me sound like one of those bird courses.... (if anyone who has done their MBA at Queen's can speak to this that would be great), and plus the Accelerated program doesn't allow students to choose electives.
- Cost for MBA is $70K, which is almost double the cost of Schulich. But again, is the program quality and reputation really worth the extra cost?
- Queens seems to have a better reputation than Schulich in Canada for its MBA program based on what I have been reading on this forum (?). Its name isn't that big overseas, but Queen's University's ranking is higher than York's.
Queen's MFin:
- Completion date: May 2022.
- How does Queen's MFin compare with Rotman's? I would appreciate if someone can share their thoughts on this.
- Queen's seems to have better reputation than Schulich for graduate programs (?).
Schulich Accelerated MBA:
- Completion date: Aug 2022.
- Students get to choose their areas of focus, which is great for me since that would allow me to choose finance and strategic management courses to fit my needs.
- Least costly out of all the options.
- I did my undergrad at Schulich. A change of environment would be helpful in expanding my network.
- If HRs in Asian countries don't recognize Schulich, then they would refer to York University's ranking, which is really bad (in the 500s according to QS). Even in Canada it seems like Schulich's graduate programs aren't perceived as good as Rotman or Queens.

I think you r already well versed with the pros and cons of each schools. So, at this stage u will be the best judge of the school that fits u. My opinion would be to reach out to each of the mentioned schools and the program advisors to ask for their advise. Each school is unique and ranking in a magazine will not help you with YOUR needs!
Also, if u r planning to work in asia, best if u get ur education and build ur network in the financial hubs of asia such as singapore, shanghai, honkong, and so on. All of these cities have fantastic schools. I do not see a logic in pursuing a degree in Canada and searching for a career in asia. I fact u will find it difficult to convince the schools in canada.
