MESSAGE FROM THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR

The business world of today is borderless. In this environment, successful

managers need a global perspective. They must also be able to operate

across cultural and national boundaries. This is what the Schulich IMBA is

preparing a new generation of global business leaders to do.

Schulich’s IMBA is the portable MBA degree that is opening doors for

Schulich graduates in virtually every corner of the world. Our graduates

enjoy highly successful careers in international business, working for

prominent companies and organizations at home and abroad.

Like all Schulich MBAs, IMBAs major in one or more functional areas

of business and/or industry sectors. In addition, the IMBA offers students

the opportunity to develop specialized expertise and business knowledge

in two of the world’s great business markets: one of Asia Pacific, Europe,

Latin America, or South and Southeast Asia plus North America. Students

can further specialize on a country basis.

Over the past decade, we have developed an extensive international

network of corporate and academic partners. Within each region of

specialization, we offer academic exchange opportunities at leading business schools. We also have strong ties with

companies and organizations that offer IMBAs their work terms abroad. These work terms often lead to job offers and

career opportunities at the host company.

The practical international experience gained during the IMBA work term abroad together with the program’s intensive

international language study and regional specializations provide our IMBAs with the tools they need to enjoy successful

careers in global business.

MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

In the late 1980s, in the face of emerging globalization,

we at the Schulich School of Business made a strategic

decision – to become a truly global business school, with

an intensely international focus. As the catalyst for our

internationalization, we created a new kind of degree –

the International MBA (IMBA).

It was the first such program in Canada and one

of the very first in the world to send students abroad to

study and work and conduct real-time strategic

consulting projects. Today, the IMBA is still one of only

a handful of truly international business programs. It is

recognized and respected by academics and executives

for its real-world relevance and global orientation.

Schulich’s IMBA program is helping educate a very

different kind of business manager. Our graduates have

the knowledge, confidence and skills to succeed in the

global marketplace and compete alongside the best managers in the world.

If you are serious about pursuing a global career in business, I invite you to consider Schulich’s IMBA –

a proven passport to opportunity and success in the exciting world of international business.

THE SCHULICH IMBA

The IMBA experience

THE IMBA STUDENT BODYDiversity is the hallmark of an IMBA class. Wide-ranging educational and work experience, highly varied linguistic and cultural backgrounds, personal involvement outside school – these diverse backgrounds and interests serve to enrich both the in-class and extracurricular associations and experiences of IMBAs.

EXTRACURRICULAR LIFEIMBAs can join a wealth of student clubs and organizations such as the Finance Association, the York Consulting Group or the York Marketing Association. Extracurricular activities complement and enrich in-classlearning and offer valuable opportunities for networking.

THE INTERNATIONAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONIMBA graduates are part of Schulich’s worldwide network of more than 17,000 alumni whose needs are servedthrough alumni chapters in 20 cities at home and abroad. Like other specialized programs, the IMBA has itsown alumni chapter of more than 470 graduates working around the world. Schulich alumni often assist students with work term and career placement opportunities. Through Schulich‘s Alumni Mentor Program, they also serve as student advisors and mentors.

The IMBA experience is what sets this unique program apart from all other MBAs: outstanding faculty from

around the world; a small, closely knit IMBA cohort of motivated, hardworking high achievers; an informed,

efficient, sensitive IMBA staff team; rich opportunities for hands-on experience outside the classroom; a world

of contacts with IMBA graduates and graduate mentors; and a new state-of-the-art Schulich School and

Executive Learning Centre.

During their studies, IMBAs such as (left to right) Michelle Korson (IMBA ’03), Suhas Godkhindi (IMBA ’02),Daniel Kennedy (IMBA ’03) and Magdalena Mrowka (IMBA ’03) drew on their diverse backgrounds to addvalue to group projects.

SCHULICH IMBA STUDENTBACKGROUNDS



Is there an application deadline?For Canadian and US students, the deadline is May 1 for the following September; forinternational students, IMBA applications must be submitted by April 1.

How do I apply? You may access the online application atwww.schulich.yorku.ca.

How much does the IMBA cost?Fees are subject to change. For 2004-2005,Canadian IMBA students will pay the samefees as MBA students (approximatelyCDN $8,750 per term), while internationalIMBA students will pay the same fees as international MBA students (CDN $12,500 perterm). IMBA students pay for four terms ofstudy in total.

What financial assistance is available to IMBA students?IMBA students are automatically consideredfor entrance scholarships based upon admissions information; it is not necessary to apply separately for entrance awards. Continuing students are eligible to apply forseveral award opportunities. For scholarshipand award details, go to www.schulich.yorku.ca.Financial support is available through the IMBABursary, Work Term Tuition Bursary, Exchange(Study Abroad) Bursary and Travel Bursary.Applications for these bursaries may be madefollowing program enrolment. IMBA studentsmay also be eligible for government studentloans and student credit-line programs.

In addition to its international focus, does the IMBA offer any other “majors”?The IMBA program makes it possible to takeseven elective courses in Terms 3/4 and 5. By managing their selection of courses fromamong Schulich’s 100 different electives, students can specialize in up to two businessspecializations such as finance or marketing(see page 4). With advance planning, it is alsopossible to take a Graduate Diploma simulta-neously with the IMBA in a specialization suchas Nonprofit Management and Leadership orArts and Media Administration.

How is my language proficiency measured?Before the start of the IMBA, each candidate isgiven a standardized Oral Proficiency Interview(OPI) over the telephone by a rater who is certified by the American Council on theTeaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL). A candidate must obtain an Intermediate-Highlevel on this interview. For details, visitwww.actfl.org/public/articles/guidelines.pdf. Tograduate from the IMBA, students must reachan Advanced-Mid level of oral proficiency on afinal exit OPI. In addition, students must obtaina Pass on a Reading Comprehension Testdeveloped by the IMBA program.

What if I wish to choose an IMBA language specialization that is not one of the six “official” IMBA languages? The language you request will qualify as yourIMBA language 1) if it is a language in one of the IMBA region specializations and 2) ifACTFL (see previous question) has an OPI forthat language. The IMBA program cannot provide language classes for other than the six“official” IMBA languages (French, German,Japanese, Mandarin, Spanish or English as aSecond Language). Therefore, a student whoselects an “unofficial” language is fully responsible for whatever study is necessary to reach an Advanced-Mid level on a final exitOPI. There is no Reading Comprehension Testrequired for “unofficial” languages.

What happens if I don't meet the exit OPI requirement in my chosen language?If you do not reach the exit requirement onyour first try at the OPI, you will have anopportunity to retry it. If you still do not reachit, you will have up to one year to strengthenyour language and retry the exit OPI.

Can I study a language in addition to my IMBA language specialization choice?Yes, if you already have a foundation in thatlanguage and it is one of the six “official”IMBA languages, all of which are taught in theprogram. You could declare your second orthird language as your IMBA language specialization choice. Whatever your IMBA language specialization choice, you arerequired to meet the prescribed entrance andexit proficiency requirements.

Do I have to find my own placement for the work term abroad?The ultimate responsibility for finding a placement rests with you, but the IMBA officewill provide you with support and help youmake connections.

Can I work in any sector?Yes, IMBAs have chosen to complete theirwork terms in corporations and in nonprofit or public sector organizations.

Do I have to complete my work term abroad in my chosen IMBA region?Normally, yes. However, under certain circumstances, you may select a differentregion with the permission of the IMBA Program Director.

Is it possible my work term abroad host will offer me a full-time position?Each work term placement is considered to bea stand-alone opportunity. Host organizationsare not expected to offer full-time positions atthe end of a work term. Every year, however,some have offered full-time employment tothe IMBAs who worked for them during thework term.

Will I be paid for my work term abroad?This varies. The IMBA program suggests that ahost organization reimburse its IMBA studentat a rate that accurately reflects the nature of the project the student undertakes. Butsome students choose to accept an unpaidwork term abroad in order to acquire specialized experience unavailable in paid work term abroad options. In some countries,unpaid work terms are the norm.

Can I choose any Schulich exchange partner for my study term abroad?Normally, you must select a school in whichyour IMBA language specialization is used.However, with the Director’s permission, youcan apply to study at a school that uses otherthan your IMBA language.

Can I change my region after classes begin?This is possible until the end of Term 1, asregion courses are not taught until Term 2.You will need the Director’s permission. If the change in region involves a change in your IMBA language, you will have to takeanother entrance OPI and achieve at least anIntermediate-High level of proficiency.
