THE ROTMAN ADVANTAGE

If you’re considering an MBA, we already know that you’re ambitious, that you’re seeking a significant boost to your career, and that you want to make an impact on the world around you.

In a competitive MBA market and an uncertain economic climate, why choose the Rotman MBA? Because in the world of business education, Rotman has one key
advantage that no other school can match: an innovative approach built on Integrative Thinking.

What is Integrative Thinking?

At Rotman, we believe that modern leaders must develop an ability to constructively face the tensions of opposing models. Instead of choosing one model at the expense of the other, they must be able to creatively resolve the tensions by designing a new model, which may contain elements of both, but will be superior to each. The end result: creative business solutions.

When Dean Roger Martin left a successful consulting career to take the helm of the
Rotman School in 1998, he was propelled by his belief that management education and its formulaic approaches to problem-solving had not kept pace with the modern economy. He set out to develop a bold new model for business education, leading the Financial Times to call him the “pioneer of the big picture” and BusinessWeek to name him one of ten B-School All-Stars who are“revolutionizing business education.”

At Rotman, students receive a solid grounding in all the functional areas of business, but they also learn how to go beyond them to consider the big picture, approaching each challenge with creativity and a willingness to take risks. It’s a groundbreaking approach
that can help you shape your business — and the world— for the better.

We invite you to be a part of it.

Your Future, Reimagined

It’s an exciting time to be at the Rotman School. Located in downtown Toronto, North America’s third largest financial centre, and part of the University of Toronto, Canada’s top teaching and research university, Rotman has all the advantages of its global peers, plus a bold vision for business education that can’t be found anywhere else.

Whether your aim is to start your own business, accelerate your career or choose a new direction, you’ve come to the right place. At Rotman, our goal is to provide you with a transformational learning experience that empowers you to think through the complexities of modern business and drive action in a quickly-changing world.

We wouldn’t have it any other way.
