The value of the Executive MBA

Invest in your potential

The return on investment for the EMBA program is both personal and professional. The interplay of work and learning is a strength of the program: you continue to work while you study.

Students often find they learn a new idea in the classroom one week, and put it in practice at work the following week. You’ll take on real-life projects on challenging business problems, developing new techniques and strategies that can benefit your employer or business.


"Rotman attracts top talent from all across Canada and internationally. You have the opportunity to learn from top academics, industry experts and your fellow peers are are ambitious professionals.”

-Jasmine Wong, EMBA '18, Senior Manager, Marketing, Rogers Communications
