MSc in Management
for Ivey HBA

The MSc in Management Program for HBAs starts in either September or January of HBA2, depending on program stream. It is designed to expand your career options by leveraging a specialized discipline without having to write a GMAT.

Program Details

During Ivey’s HBA1, students have the opportunity to apply for conditional acceptance to the program. The Ivey MSc in Management is a direct-entry program requiring no previous full-time work experience. It is a transformational experience for ambitious students who want to build on their undergraduate success, hone their skill set, develop their leadership abilities, and accelerate their learning in a specialized master’s degree.

HBA students have the opportunity to complete a portion of their MSc in Management while finishing their HBA2. Doing so drastically reduces both the time and cost associated with achieving this advanced degree.
