When and where
The majority of classes are in-person and on-campus, so you'll be able to grow your invaluable network and take advantage of everything that Rotman has to offer. The curriculum is structured around four terms. Regular classes take place twice a month, online for three hours on Thursday evenings and then in person on Fridays and Saturdays from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm each day. Four one-week modules also take place during the program.
Real-time learning
Rotman employs diverse learning methods, including case studies, lectures, teamwork, online study, simulations and experiential learning. This ensures that the curriculum can respond to rapidly changing developments. Participants also bring their own workplace challenges into the classroom, and these become part of the discussion.
"What I enjoyed most about business school was the classroom discussion. Being present in a room with so many diverse perspectives from different industries, countries of origin, and life experiences was such a humbling and enriching experience – it fundamentally broadened my worldview.”
