A Program Designed with You in Mind


Twelve months to a specialized MBA

In today's fast-paced business environment, taking a lengthy leave from the workplace is difficult, and can be detrimental to your career. That's why the University of Saskatchewan has designed an intensive, highly specialized MBA that can be completed in only 12 months. In one short year, you can earn an MBA tailored to your current occupation, or designed to launch you on a new career.


Foundational Qualities

An excellent manager is a complete person. The program will help you increase your own self-awareness, your ability to work with others, your ability to provide effective leadership and your sensitivity to ethical issues in the workplace and in society.


Integrated Learning

Excellent managers continuously weave together a wide variety of skills as they guide their organizations. The general manager's life is not neatly partitioned into functional areas. Our MBA program reflects organizational reality. It is highly integrated and problem oriented. Specific technical skills are introduced as they are needed so that their importance and application is both immediately clear and memorable. Classes are focused on real-world application of this knowledge. The intensive, experiential and case-based format of the MBA program allows you to apply the knowledge you have gained from the theoretical portion instantly into business situations. In this way you will be able to gain a much deeper understanding of the course material presented.

About the City of Saskatoon


The first time visitor to Saskatoon is often surprised by the city's friendliness, vibrancy and beauty. The tree-lined parks along the banks of the South Saskatchewan River, shopping malls, attractive residential areas and a cosmopolitan array of recreation and entertainment reflect the emergence of Saskatoon as the province's largest city, with a population of approximately 200, 000.

One of the sunniest cities in Canada, Saskatoon shines in many ways, and newcomers find it easy to share the warmth as well as the bright future of those who call Saskatoon their home. Comparatively low living costs, especially for housing, coupled with many amenities available to all residents, make graduate work at the U of S even more attractive.
