WHY AN ODETTE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS MBA?
The business community demands excellent from its leaders. That same demand for excellence also drives the mission of the Odette School of Business MBA programs: educating tomorrow's business leaders. Our highly integrated core curriculum, which demonstrates the leading edge of best management practice worldwide, stresses the inter-relationship among the various functional areas of business and the changing economic environment.

Our MBA brings students face-to-face with a first-class, comprehensive business education in a friendly and supportive campus environment. Our program combines academic knowledge, practical skills and meaningful work experience to produce management generalists prepared to assume challenging and changing roles in today's global workplace.

Our strategic location on the Canada/United States border provides access to the social cultural and athletic events of Detroit, Michigan, a major U.S. city, while Windsor offers the cultural diversity and charm of a small historic Canadian city.

THE PROGRAMS
The quality and variety of our programs distinguish the Odette School of Business MBA. Our innovative co-op (work-study) option allows university graduates from non-business fields to complete their degree in two years while gaining essential work place experience. Holders of an honours business degree may choose the "fast-track" option and complete their MBA in one year. Part-time students bring a special set of skills and experience to the program, and are encouraged to meet with a faculty mentor to design a time efficient program that is custom made for their needs.

Our Co-op MBA boasts high post-graduation employment. Co-op students gain valuable work experience and employer contacts while completing their degree. Our border location also means enhanced research and field placement opportunities. First-year class sizes are limited to guarantee low student-faculty ratios and foster interactive team-oriented learning, a major focus of our program.

Our professors have broad teaching and business/consulting experience in countries around the globe, have written textbooks, business simulations, and case studies used by many business schools and industry, and have published widely in major journals in North America and beyond.

An international perspective, which addresses such issues as the environment, ethics and diversity, is integrated into the curriculum. Working in groups, students learn by doing - through case studies, group projects, co-op placements and community involvement, and hone vital skills in real work research, communication analysis and problem solving.;

FOCUS OF THE PROGRAMS
Academic Knowledge - Leading-edge concepts and practices are taught in an integrated fashion. The goal is to provide students with a clear understanding of the operation of successful businesses.

Practical Skills - Teamwork and effective communication skills have been identified by employers as critical in today's environment. Training and practice in these areas begins in the first semester. Numerous workshops are offered to upgrade students' skills in resume writing, interviewing, presentation techniques and computer developments.

Work Experience - The Odette School of Business MBA provides opportunities to obtain relevant business experience. Co-op MBA students participate in two paid work terms. Regular MBAs and fast-track MBAs have the opportunity to gain valuable work experience at the Business Resource Centre, and through other community/industry involvements.
