Program overview
Offered by 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 an internationally recognized John Molson MBA. This program is offered jointly in Montreal and Toronto and allows our students to pursue work and networking opportunities in Canada’s two largest job markets, resulting in 96% of our students being employed within 3 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 3 years, however candidates who already have their CFA level 1 and extensive finance experience may be considered for admissions into the 2-year accelerated program.
Our faculty members, many of who are CFA charterholders and/or PhDs are active in industry, have connections to major employers, and bring practical cases to their classrooms. Our accessible and engaged faculty and staff are committed to excellence and foster a welcoming and collegial classroom experience.
