I didn't find a single article on VIU placements. Nor it has any Ranking among good Canadian colleges. Not in Top 20 Canadian college at least.
VIU is overall an average college the one people consider under easy option.
The class size is minimum so acceptance rate is higher, as well as scholarship chances.
But I won't suggest you to narrow down your search to easy colleges only. if you are planning for a safe college application you can go for it. But you can find better and competitive colleges round the globe, with better brand, career and job opportunities.

Hi AC045637,

It's hard to answer your question as to whether or not how good VIU is for a full time MBA program without knowing what you're looking for in a school. If you're basing it purely on stats, then VIU is not a very competitive program according to their admissions criteria of minimum "B" average the last 2 years of UG, 1 year work experience, and no GMAT requirement. This compared to the top MBA programs with class averages of 700+ GMAT score, "A" GPA, and 5 years of work experience.

If you'd like to discuss what kind of programs you're looking for and get help with school selection, feel free to reach out to us at admissionado.com for a free consultation.

Best,
Cindy
