We Don’t Just Do Things Differently, We Do Them Better

There are many MBA programs out there. Ivey stands apart from traditional business schools because of its differences. Five interlinked elements give you not just the business fundamentals that you would expect from an MBA program, but also the leadership capabilities required to turn concepts into decisions, knowledge into action, and ideas into change.

The Ivey MBA opens your mind to how the business world really works and prepares you to take challenges head-on.

Case-Method Learning at Ivey MBA

It's Better to Learn by Doing

Before you start asking to see a course outline, let’s make one thing perfectly clear. How you learn is more important. Because no matter how engaging a faculty member may be, you can’t be lectured into becoming a great decision maker.

From day one in the program, the pace is fast and unyielding, and the adrenaline rush is undeniable. Each class is a journey through a complex, multi-disciplined business challenge. You are immediately confronted with the reality that, in business, things rarely fit into tidy functional boxes. You’ll have too much information, or at times not enough, but through the program you’ll become comfortable making decisions when faced with uncertainty.

How It Works

Class preparation starts with each student tackling an individual assessment of the case and crafting a plan of action. From there, you test your ideas with your learning team and new ideas and strategies will emerge. You’ll gain greater confidence in your decision, preparing you for class itself. The Ivey classroom is the final step, opening up the debate to diverse perspectives and the surprising conclusion that there is not ‘one right answer’.

That’s why Ivey is committed to Case-Method Learning. It’s not just teaching, it’s a powerful decision-making approach that becomes ingrained into how you operate. The transformation happens throughout your year at Ivey, as you dive into hundreds of cases. You’ll build amazing problem solving skills and develop the ability to recognize and seize business opportunities, making you a rare double-threat.

What You Learn at Ivey MBA

From Manager To Leader

Anybody can learn a theory. All schools teach core business knowledge but that’s where the similarity ends. At Ivey, we believe knowledge is necessary, but not sufficient for career success. Pushing you to learn how and when to apply ideas is the difference that will take you from manager to leader.

Strong leaders are confident leaders. This confidence onlycomes with practice, practice and more practice. The Ivey classroom is where you will test your ability to apply what you’ve learned and have your perspective challenged by your learning team, classmates, and faculty. Through hundreds of cases and simulations, you’re exposed to several years of real-life business knowledge in just one transformational year.

Leadership Essentials

At Ivey, you learn by doing. Each day, as you apply your learning, you accelerate your leadership capabilities. We call these capabilities Ivey Leadership Essentials. They are at the core of everything we do at Ivey and are what truly differentiate our Ivey MBAs.

Join The Ivey MBA Alumni Network

Join The Prestigious Ivey Alumni Network

In the halls at Ivey, you’ll grow a powerful and influential professional network, starting with a special bond between you and everyone from your year. It’s a bond that will last a lifetime.

As an Ivey MBA, you’ll also have access to one of the most prestigious alumni networks in Canada and the world. That means more “who you knows” than you will likely ever need. Ivey Alumni are busy leading the business world, but they also maintain strong connections to the school as recruiters, guest speakers, sponsors, and mentors.

A Culture of Support

Ivey does more than just connect you to influential people. You’ll also learn the art of effectively leveraging those connections. Developing new relationships and building on the ones you have is a core skill that’s vital to your career.

Ivey graduates have a culture of saying “yes” to meeting with other Ivey grads to talk business or mutual opportunities. This culture is fostered from day one and continues well beyond graduation. Ivey grads “get” each other, and they know that you chose Ivey because you value what makes it different from traditional business schools. That shared connection says a lot about who you are today and who you will become.

Ivey MBA's Career Management

Create and Navigate Your Career Success

The MBA program you choose should share your career goals. Our mandate at Ivey has never been just to prepare you for your first post-MBA job and be done with it. Rather, we want to give you the tools to create and navigate opportunities successfully throughout your career.

Our Ivey Career Management team is ranked #1 in Canada by our prestigious recruiting partners and they’re involved from the very beginning. In fact, your early career path exploration starts during the admission process when our career management team participates in your application assessment.

Integrated Career Management

Career coaching is built right into the curriculum. Class time is devoted to the skills required to build a solid résumé, prepare for rigorous interviews, find hidden career opportunities, network effectively, and plan your career strategy.

We don’t hand out jobs. We provide access to exceptional coaching and knowledge you can use to launch and accelerate your career path. These days, the “typical” career of a young professional spans three radically different industries with eight distinct functions – your career success will depend on your ability to manage this change.

An Ivey MBA opens doors to an unlimited range of challenging leadership opportunities. Ivey Career Management coaching gives you the insight and career savvy you need to fully capitalize on them.
