Hi all,
I’m in the process of deciding between Toronto (Rotman) and McGill (Desautels) for my MBA and would love to get some insights from those familiar with these programs!
My Background & Post-MBA Goals:
• Background: 5 years in communications and project management
• Long-term Goal: Interested in working in Canada post-MBA, ideally in a corporate role that integrates business strategy, ESG and social impact. A higher position in art is also within the plan.
My Key Considerations:
1. Reputation & Recruiting:
• How do their employer networks compare for consulting, marketing, or sustainability roles?
2. Program Strengths:
• Rotman’s focus on design thinking, analytics, and innovation is appealing, but I’ve heard the program is quite intense.
• McGill’s integrated approach and smaller cohort sound more personalized. Any insights on how these teaching styles translate into real-world skills?
3. Location & Networking:
• Toronto is Canada’s business hub, and McGill has strong global branding. How are they connected internationally, if moving to Europe is within long term aspirations?
4. Experience & Culture:
• Personally, Montreal is my preferred city for its lifestyle. I have foundational competencies in French and wouldn’t avoid building my French to learn more about the Francophone cultures.
However, the PR conditions seem uncertain in both Ontario and Quebec. I understand it may take longer to settle in Quebec.
If anyone has gone through a similar decision or has insights into these programs, I’d really appreciate your thoughts! Thanks in advance.

Rotman is certainly the better of the two in most metrics. Since your plan is to work in Canada, Rotman will also give you access to Toronto’s job market and employer connections. I'd definitely pick Rotman over McGill.

Both Rotman and McGill have strong MBA programs, but your decision depends on priorities. Rotman has a stronger employer network in Canada, especially in consulting and corporate strategy roles, given its location in Toronto—Canada’s business hub. McGill offers a smaller, personalized experience and strong international recognition, particularly in Europe. If you prefer Montreal’s lifestyle and are open to learning French, McGill could be a great fit, but PR pathways in Quebec may take longer. If maximizing job opportunities in Canada is key, Rotman’s proximity to major firms may be more advantageous. Choose based on your long-term goals.
