http://www.find-mba.com/board/5287 en MBA in Canada without GMAT - FIND MBA Discussion Board Mon, 01 Oct 2007 14:22:00 +0200 http://www.find-mba.com/board/5287/last#5287 I am looking for an MBA in Canada which does not require GMAT score and lasts not longer than 18 months. Does anybody know such programs? I have more than 5 years of work exeperience related to administration and marketing, BBA degree and LLDiploma. Thu, 04 Oct 2007 00:04:00 +0200 http://www.find-mba.com/board/5287/last#5293 Here some Canadian MBAs which meet your requirements: - Brock University - St. Catharines, ON, Canada - Université Laval - Québec, Canada (as far as I understand, please chek. its all in French..) - Wilfrid Laurier University - Waterloo Campus: GMAT may be waived under certain strict circumstances: see: http://www.wlu.ca/page.php?grp_id=356&p=3410 Thu, 04 Oct 2007 08:43:00 +0200 http://www.find-mba.com/board/5287/last#5294 Thank you! The list is not very long. I hope that there are more programs meeting the reqirements. I also found Malaspina University College. Fri, 05 Oct 2007 23:00:00 +0200 http://www.find-mba.com/board/5287/last#5306 There are some more. I didn't have more time yesterday to look them up for you. But I must say your request limits que choice quite a lot. Especially the good MBAs require alll the GMAT. Also, it's more typical for Canada to offer 2 year MBAs, like in the US. But about one school out of two has a one year version too Sat, 06 Oct 2007 18:02:00 +0200 http://www.find-mba.com/board/5287/last#5309 I confirm what Juanito writes, Most MBA programs require GMAT, and that`s not a Canadian specialty at all. I would even say that you should be suspicious about unknown programs NOT requiring GMAT - that can mean that they don`t attract enough people, and that they accept everyohne, even those who have a bad profile - not a good place to study then. In fact, the school has to measure somehow the capacities and qualification of the candidate. That`s why top programs sometimes are fine with other prooves than GMAT if the student establishes that he/she is far, but very far beyond average. Sat, 06 Oct 2007 18:18:00 +0200 http://www.find-mba.com/board/5287/last#5310 So, taking into account the above and what Juanito stated, its normal that out of the 40-50 MBA programs in Canada only a small list corresponds to what you are looking for. Here some more information that might be interesting for you: The admission section of the MBA at University of New Brunswick it says: "students with a GPA of 3.2/4.3 or higher may be eligible for a GMAT waiver" If you speak French, you might have a have a look also at: Université du Québec à Montréal (UQÀM) MBA - AND Université de Sherbrooke (Québec) I did not find any mention of GMAT Hope that helped?

Wed, 24 Oct 2007 20:59:00 +0200 http://www.find-mba.com/board/5287/last#5432 What are the options for 1 year MBA with GMAT in Canada. I apologise if I am diverting from the topic of discussion Thu, 25 Oct 2007 14:59:00 +0200 http://www.find-mba.com/board/5287/last#5438 Not at all, we kind of finished the above discussion, anyways MBAs not requiring GMAT is a very specific, marginal request. Regarding your question, there are quite a few one year programs in Canada. From my personal research I got the impression that the general model in Canada is the 2-year version like in the US, but a lot of schools offer both. I started my research going through the FIND MBA Canada section, where I went through the programs one by one. It's only 5 pages, some 40 MBAs, very well feasible. But I think you can even narrow your research with specific parameters using the reseach function (head of this page on the right side, button: "Search MBA") Thu, 25 Oct 2007 15:31:00 +0200 http://www.find-mba.com/board/5287/last#5439 I just did this research out of curiosity, you have 20 one-year MBAs in Canada! Thu, 25 Oct 2007 16:37:00 +0200 http://www.find-mba.com/board/5287/last#5442 Thanks a lot Maite. I appreciate your effort. Let me give you an overview of my background. I am an IT professional (expertising in database systems) with 4 years of work exp. I would like to stick to the filed of IT and use my MBA to excel in my existing field. First of all, does that make sense ? Well, what specific courses would help me in my purpose. Are there any specific courses for tecnical graduates with work exp (like IT finance etc). The sole purpose of 1 year MBA is its pace. . Thanks again for your effort Fri, 26 Oct 2007 19:10:00 +0200 http://www.find-mba.com/board/5287/last#5451 I understand, one year is quicker, and also far lower in costs. As for your profile, I can't help you I'm afraid, since I have a law beackground, I studied law and economics and don't know about IT. Sorry for that :-( But generally speaking you can either stick to your field, or chose a general MBA if you head more for positions of management of a company specialised in the field. That depends n your personal preferences. You sound more like wanting to specialize in your field, that's fine. For the courses, I don't understand very well, do you mean something outside an MBA or in the MBA program?

Every college want to start for their own business Mon, 01 Aug 2011 16:44:00 +0200 http://www.find-mba.com/board/5287/last#21353 Hi all. I have a question . I have 16 years of experience with a BBA degree.I am immgrating to canada and hopefully will start living in 2012 onwards on PR . I have plan to work and study MBA .

Sun, 18 Nov 2012 06:27:00 +0200 http://www.find-mba.com/board/5287/last#31326 Hi Seniors i need some help. I have done my graduation i.e Bachelors of Management studies back in India. finished in 2012. and i am in canada on student visa for marketing course PGDM in geroge borwn coll. but now i know that it doesnt have much recognition as its a college. So i want to study in a University. So according to my profile can i get admision in a university for MBA i dont have GMAT score. And Ielts is 7.5 Please i need help badly cause am planning to go back to india and do MBA there. Please help. Mon, 19 Nov 2012 13:30:00 +0200 http://www.find-mba.com/board/5287/last#31334 There are very few MBA programs in Canada that would be worth the investment that don't require the GMAT. The good schools like UBC Sauder, Concordia Molson, and York Schulich - all require you to take the GMAT. Additionally, each of these schools and similar ones require you to have at least two years of work experience, which it doesn't sound like you have. Mon, 19 Nov 2012 18:30:00 +0200 http://www.find-mba.com/board/5287/last#31339 So basically for now its not worth doing an MBA in normal university which takes admission without GMAT. And as i have to start my career over here again can u suggest me some good course for diploma in some of the colleges. And Should take up a course in college like George Brown or do some UG or G from University.
