University of TorontoEnjoy a full-campus experience at the historic St. George campus of the University of Toronto. Established in 1827, U of T is a global centre of research and academic excellence and is widely recognized worldwide as Canada’s top university — a reputation that adds tremendous value to your Rotman MBA.

Rotman students are welcome everywhere on campus to pursue opportunities in other faculties to expand their thinking and networks.

A powerful networkThe Rotman Full-Time MBA is the largest MBA program in the country, helping to launch more people in their careers than the next three top Canadian business schools combined.

As a student and graduate, you gain access to political influencers, established entrepreneurs and a powerful network of over 15,000 alumni in more than 90 countries. You will also enjoy mentorship support from our professors, who are among the top thought leaders in management, and are deeply engaged with businesses and governments around the globe.

Diversity and inclusionA commitment to diversity is core to the Rotman experience. Owing to our impressive scale and location in the world's most multicultural city, Rotman attracts people from a wide range of countries and backgrounds.

Through the Community of Practice (a council focused on inclusion and diversity), and ongoing events like Culture Eats and Rotman on Inclusion Week, the School provides an environment that is safe, welcoming and respectful to all.

Toronto: Canada's business and cultural centreThe Rotman School is located in downtown Toronto, the fourth largest city in North America and often described as 'the most multicultural city in the world'. Our central location makes it easy for you to connect face-to-face with top employers.

The head offices of Canada’s five largest banks are located in Toronto, the second-largest financial centre in North America after New York City.

Innovation and entrepreneurship hubToronto is ranked as one of the world’s best startup ecosystems. A recent study by McKinsey concluded that the Toronto-Waterloo Corridor, known as ‘Tech North’,is fast growing into the largest concentration of artificial intelligence, machine learning, fintech, and quantum computing start-ups in the world. Steps away from the university, the MaRS Discovery District hosts and supports entrepreneurial development. U of T invests over $1.1 billion per year in research, including a $100-million commitment to build a new complex dedicated to AI and biomedicine, and $25 million in funding from the Government of Canada to support the Creative Destruction Lab.

Located in the heart of Toronto and part of the University of Toronto, Rotman offers wide-ranging opportunities to connect with alumni, top global recruiters, senior executives, and thought leaders.

Our Full-Time MBA Program is designed for talented individuals seeking a transformative learning experience. The program will challenge you to push your limits, expand your creativity and focus your critical thinking and decision-making skills to transform your leadership potential.

Taking learningdeeper

Build something massiveSince its launch in 2012, the Creative Destruction Lab (CDL) has become one of the world’s fastest-growing venture labs. Over $3.1-billion in equity value has been created by participating ventures, which apply from top universities around the globe. Selected MBA students, alongside some of Canada's most successful entrepreneurs, provide ventures with strategic insights and business development support.

Innovative internship modelAn internship or work placement gives you the ideal learning opportunity to try on new roles and responsibilities or experience a completely different industry, function or company before making the leap to full-time employment.

The flexible internship program at Rotman allows you to integrate and apply management knowledge gained within the program through a paid four-month work-placement offered during the summer, fall or winter of your second year. Throughout your internship, you will benefit from one-on-one guidance and feedback on your performance from world-class faculty mentors in a process that maximizes your career outcomes.

Model-based decision making in practiceThe Capstone project allows you to apply model-based decision-making to a real-world business problem. By drawing on the intellectual tools you honed in your first year of studies, you develop first-hand experience of how the explicit and systematic use of models can sharpen your impact as a thinker, manager and leader.
