I would recommend anyone to the program that is looking for a 12 month program. I think that the Queen's MBA is one of the best, but if a friend is looking for a work term, then I would not suggest this program to them. -- Finance

The Queen's MBA program is an extremely professional program but is definitely not for everybody. If the aim is a fantastic educational experience the program has great faculty and a well organized course. If the aim is to get a job in Canada then it's definitely a challenge for international students because of the intense one year format. The timeframe affects the number of chances that are available for an international student. This opportunity risk has to be factored in by any aspirant to the program. Since most students asking me advice are international, I tend to give them this caveat. -- Consulting

s

A certain personality type thrives within the Queen's MBA program, and any friends of mine which are great team players and have a great positive frame of mind would get a strong urging from me to attend Queen's if they wanted to do an MBA. -- Marketing

The one year MBA is the perfect time frame for women and older professionals. Also, I think the program is so rigorous, that it really prepares you for more challenging positions in the future. -- Information Technology

s

The program at Queens gives you the opportunity to meet and work with people with diverse ethnic and professional backgrounds. Furthermore, the skills you develop when dealing with different obstacles in a team (or individually) are unique as each experience helps you build your managerial, strategic, and leadership skills. Finally the networks and friends you develop during the one year program cannot be compared with any other I have experienced in my life. Roughly 73 students, brilliant in their respective fields working together for over 12 hours a day is an experience unmatched by any other. -- Finance

Queens exceeded my expectations in every way. I was treated like royalty! -- Consulting

s

If your objective of enrolling in a MBA program is not just getting a high paying job, but an overall experience in terms of professional and personal development, probably Queen's School of Business is the right program to be in within Canada. Further if you want to get your MBA in one year in an truly international setting, Queen's School of Business is a great place to be in. -- Finance

The single overwhelming factor for recommending this program is team-based learning. I cannot emphasize enough how beneficial it is to learn in a team setting with such a diverse and wide-open concept of business management. I can't think of any other academic field that benefits more from group learning than the MBA education. -- Operations

s

The Queens MBA was more than just a theoretic study in Business. It forced me to confront my personality through the use of team work and constrained timelines. I stretched myself to beyond what I thought were my limitations and was able to discover that there is a lot more potential in me than I ever thought possible. The staff at the admin office, careers center and the professors were super helpful and made surviving the most intense period of my life so far (academically) more than bearable. In fact they made it a memorable and fun time. I would wish that for all my friends and colleagues. -- Marketing

Individual attention, faculty, and staff were just amazing! -- Consulting

s

For me enrolling in an MBA program was part of a life changing plan that involved emigrating to a foreign country (Canada). In this sense, besides learning the business fundamentals, it was a way to get to understand the culture, corporate market and maximize my chances of successfully entering the Canadian corporate world. The Queen's program provided a solid academic base, exposed me to various external networking opportunities and guided me in my career search. Finally, provided the small class size, we all became very close friends, making my move to Canada much more easy and enjoyable. -- Information Technology

s

Emphasis on team is one very important component of the program which is helping me in real life work environment. -- Finance

I love the program and am a proud alum. This is a very important aspect of the program. It has a well coordinated alum program, and I was helped tremendously by the alum and they love helping the program. I intend to do the same!! -- Consulting

s

The major strength of the Queen's program is the way the team-based model is integrated into the entire core program. The interpersonal skills practiced and the leadership ability gained through this model would be difficult to replicate in a regular academic environment. -- Marketing

The quality of teaching at Queen's was unsurpassed - profs spent an incredible amount of time preparing meaningful, relevant and cohesive material that was widely applicable to many all types of business. This was complemented with great personal individual coaching and a strong focus on teamwork. -- Entrepreneurship

s

The most powerful part of the Queen's MBA is the teamwork aspect. This experience has been the most valuable part of the MBA program and is the reason I would recommend it to anyone. -- Finance

The Queen's MBA Program was very well balanced. It is an excellent team-based program which helped build leadership and team skills, as well as focus on individual work and learning. There was a good balance between 'teaching' and 'case-based' methodology. EVERY professor was the best in their field, had great experience and was always helpful outside of class. There were also many opportunities for networking despite being two and a half hours away from a major city (Toronto), and the best firms came to recruit on campus. -- Finance
