Which Program is Best for You?
Ivey’s Accelerated MBA is a 14-month, while-you-work program, with two pathways. Business graduates can enter directly, while non-business graduates can begin with the four-month Graduate Diploma in Management Program to build the foundational knowledge needed for advanced standing in the Accelerated MBA. Ivey’s optimized structure combines online learning with in-class sessions, allowing you to earn your Ivey MBA without putting your career on hold. Let’s compare the benefits of Ivey’s Accelerated MBA with other traditional part-time programs.
14 to 18 Months – Start to Finish
- Many part-time programs may seem flexible, but they sure take a long time to complete. Depending on how many courses you take, it could take three to four years of juggling work, home and study to get your degree. With Ivey’s Accelerated MBA program, you’ll gain the knowledge you need and the ability to apply that knowledge to succeed.
Plan Your Schedule
- While some part-time programs require weekly evening or weekend classes, Ivey takes a more efficient approach. For business graduates, the Accelerated MBA is delivered over just three classroom days per month (Friday through Sunday) at our Toronto campus, combined with asynchronous online learning throughout the year. For non-business graduates, the journey begins with the part-time, four-month Graduate Diploma in Management, delivered at our Toronto campus with six classroom days per month, providing the academic business foundation needed to pathway into the Accelerated MBA.
Ivey's Cohort Model
- With many part-time programs, each course brings a new group of classmates, offering little continuity or connection. At Ivey, both Accelerated MBA pathways follow a cohort-based model, allowing you to learn, collaborate, and grow alongside the same group of peers. AMBA students deepen these bonds through monthly in-person sessions and a transformative International Study Trip. You’ll build lasting professional connections and a strong sense of community with peers and faculty.
Set Your Own Pace
- Our combination of online learning and in-class sessions allows you to learn concepts at your own pace, and then discuss them in class. Careful sequencing of the program elements and cases builds on one another to provide a powerful and unique learning experience.
Gain Credit for Your Degree
- We give you credit for your undergraduate degree in the Accelerated MBA, and no GMAT is required.
