Program overview
Offered by the John Molson School of Business' Goodman Institute, the MBA in Investment Management is a rigorous program that prepares you to pass the challenging CFA charter exams while earning the internationally recognized John Molson MBA. Students pursue work and networking opportunities in Canada's two largest job markets (Montreal and Toronto), resulting in 92 per cent being employed within three months of graduation.
Classes are held Wednesday evenings and all-day Saturday, giving our students the flexibility to work full- or part-time and take advantage of internship opportunities. Candidates will complete the full program within three years, however, candidates who already have their CFA level 1 and extensive finance experience may be considered for admissions into the two-year accelerated path.
Our faculty members, many of whom are CFA charter holders or PhDs, are active in industry, have connections to major employers and bring practical cases to their classrooms. The program's engaged faculty and staff are committed to excellence and foster a welcoming classroom experience.
