Relying on what it terms \u201cintegrative thinking,\u201d Rotman\u2019s teaching model challenges the compartmentalization of traditional functional areas. Students complete a series of core courses in their first year that emphasize generalized business skills and the ability to think across functional disciplines. The Rotman Self-Developmental Lab, which offers feedback on the students\u2019 communication style and behavioral performance via group workshops and personalized sessions with psychologists and management consultants, is also part of the first year of studies. The program, according to the school\u2019s site, is \u201caimed at developing and nurturing in all students the communicative, interactive and interpersonal skills essential to the high-value added collaborative problem solver and decision maker in contemporary organizations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In their second year, Rotman MBA students are given the option to choose from 16 different major areas, including Global Management, Social Impact and Sustainability, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and Funds Management, while supplementing their focus with a broader array of more than 90 elective courses.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, only 170 miles away but across the border, the full-time MBA program at the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.simon.rochester.edu\/index.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Simon Business School at the\u00a0University of Rochester<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>offers a broadly finance-oriented general management curriculum featuring particular strengths in analytics and accounting. Simon\u2019s program is built on a foundation of 12 core courses, including \u201cManagerial Economics,\u201d \u201cCapital Budgeting and Corporate Objectives,\u201d and \u201cMarketing Management.\u201d Students complete their core with an assigned study team before exploring more specialized professional interests.<\/p>\n<p>The school\u2019s elective courses represent a variety of industries and functions, such as entrepreneurship, consulting, and real estate. Students may choose from ten career specializations, which are divided into three tracks: Finance, which includes such topics as Banking, Corporate Finance, and Asset Management; Consulting, which includes Pricing, Strategy, Technology, and Operations; and Marketing, which includes Product Management and Brand Management. Students also have ten available minors, which are divided into cross-functional and functional and include Analytics, Global Business, and Leadership. In addition, the Simon MBA EDGE Program provides students with opportunities for personal development in such areas as problem solving, communication, and leadership through involvement in activities including clubs, advisory boards, and other groups on campus, as well as case competitions and projects with area companies. The program, which the school\u2019s website says was developed to give students the skills that \u201cprovide a process for self\u2010leadership that can prepare [them] for a lifetime of opportunities,\u201d aims to complement knowledge learned in the classroom and increase students\u2019 value to potential employers.<\/p>\n<p>Simon\u2019s Ain Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation and its Center for Pricing offer curricular and research support to supplement the specific career concentrations. Simon is also home to more than 20 professional and social student-run organizations aimed at coordinating networking events and professional development resources to assist students in advancing their careers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Toronto\u2019s\u00a0Rotman School of Management\u00a0was ranked first among Canadian MBA programs by the\u00a0Financial Times\u00a0in 2023.
