Queen’s Introduces Canada’s First Masters of Global Management Program

Program answers corporate Canada’s call for deeper international perspective

KINGSTON, ON – Queen’s School of Business today introduced Canada’s first-ever Masters of Global Management (MGM) program, further strengthening the School’s mission to prepare future business leaders for success on an international scale.

“In our ongoing dialogue with leaders of national and multinational corporations in Canada and abroad, Queen’s School of Business identified the need for managers with first-hand knowledge of cross-cultural business practices,” said Dean David Saunders of the program.

The curriculum and structure of the 12-month MGM were designed based on input from recruiters and students. To apply, students are required to have an undergraduate degree in business. This puts Queen’s a stride ahead of most European and international MGM programs, which typically spend one year on business fundamentals followed by one year on cross-cultural components. With its first class starting in September 2007, Queen’s MGM students begin and end the program with four months at Queen’s campus in Kingston, Ontario. In between, they spend a four month long placement at one of ten partner institutions around the world. All partners are top-tier business schools in their own countries, including Mannheim, Maastricht, Peking University, and Helsinki School of Economics.
