Ivey provides a world class MBA program and experience, the best in Canada, which would definitely cause me to recommend it to anyone I know. -- Marketing

The unique case study and classroom discussions at Ivey are highly effective learning methods, empowering students to learn from each other, challenge each other and think critically about their own conclusions. I would undoubtedly recommend Ivey's MBA program to my friends and colleagues because of the high quality of education it provides. -- Consulting

As part of the international component, I studied in China, which was a fantastic experience. That along with other students' experience in Eastern Europe was a great learning experience and something that I'll carry with me as long as I go. -- Consulting

The best investment I've made to date. -- Consulting

I truly believe the Richard Ivey School of Business is the top MBA school in Canada and highly recommend it to anyone that wants to go through a rigorous and challenging MBA program. Through this program, I have obtained one of the most sought after positions and feel that I have the tool kit necessary to succeed in it. -- Investment Banking

Overall a fantastic program with top notch faculty. -- Information Technology

As an international student, I believe this MBA experience is most beneficial because it can open a window for me: not only has it provided me more career opportunities worldwide, but it has also made me realize what the international standards are, what are right things, and what are not. From now on I know how to improve myself, which is the most valuable thing I have ever learned. -- Finance

Ivey prepares students with the acumen, knowledge, and polish that is required for long-term success, in addition to the tools to land your first job post-MBA. -- Information Technology

Ivey has been undergoing a number of changes including the one year curriculum and the increasing the student recruiting standards that have made the MBA experience richer, although more complex to manage. The school needs to improve its efforts in improving career management, scheduling and administration. Moreover, Ivey needs to align its curriculum schedule so that it can build the skills students need for the job search instead of just accommodating the recruiting season around our calendars. After completing the full program, it becomes evident that the combination of quality, cross-functional content, and experience gained through the case method is invaluable. This however, should be delivered in a more structured way that reconciles learning with recruiting. -- Consulting

An MBA program is really what you make of it. Given you are someone who wants to take full advantage of extra-curricular activities, as long as the program affords you those opportunities, it is a valuable experience. I for one took advantage of everything Ivey had to offer. I believe that is why I probably had a more enriching experience than most, and also why I would (and have) quickly urged friends pursuing an MBA to attend Ivey as well. -- Consulting

The MBA program at the Richard Ivey School of Business far exceeded my expectations with respect to instructional content, idea sharing and networking with my classmates, and in the confidence that its case-based discussionary methodology enabled me to develop. Ivey's cross-functional approach for problem solving analysis demonstrated the degree to which decision making in one functional area can significantly affect the operations of an organization enterprise wide. I would recommend Ivey to anyone with any experiential background from anywhere in the world. It is second to none. -- Finance

We have a very strong alumni network; I am confident in bringing more people I know into this group. I have already recruited four studetns who have accepted their offers. I want the school to grow and increase its network even more. -- Consulting

s

The 12 month cross-enterprise program saves time and money if you are not a career switcher. However, it becomes a bit challenging if you want to change function without internship opportunity. -- Marketing

The experience with talking to potential employers was disheartening - many did not believe in the merits of a 1-year program. There was an expectation of cross-enterprise learning, however many courses had minimal integration from perspectives of other business functions. -- Marketing

I exceeded my expectations and the school gave enough exposure to real business cases. -- Consulting

s

Case method is a great way to learn. Faculty is excellent and really cares for you. Great colleagues - brightest from around the world. -- Consulting

For anyone looking to advance their career within the same industry there is no better MBA program in Canada. -- Finance

Ivey was one of the best experiences of my life. The ability to learn and interact with Canada's business elite was exceptional. The opportunity to learn from talented and intelligent classmates was second to none. Trips to China and Barcelona also provided me with excellent international coverage. -- Finance
