Although applications are accepted year round, those who are interested in starting the program in March 2014 will be required to submit their application to Laurentian University no later than October 28th, 2013

Admission Requirements

All candidates must be a member in good standing with an IBAC member association and hold the CAIB or CPIB designations. An applicant will be required to submit the following documentation with their application:

• Completed Application for Admission form and a $60 application fee payable to Laurentian University. This fee is non-refundable;
• A curriculum vitae outlining prior post secondary academic and professional education and a detailed description of work experiences, including description of duties, responsibilities, and accomplishments;
• Official transcripts for all post secondary education;
• Three letters of reference on a standardized form; and
• A letter of application (between 500 and 1000 words).

Admission to the online MBA program is competitive and will be based on the Laurentian University Admission Committee’s relative rankings of applications. The Committee will review each application individually and assess each applicant’s own combination of prior education, work experience and unique strengths in determining the applicant’s ability to successfully undertake the online MBA program.

Generally, the following admission requirements apply:

• A recognized 4-year undergraduate degree (in any discipline) or equivalent;
• 70% or a B average in prior post secondary or professional education; and
• Minimum two years of work experience.

Applicants without a 4-year undergraduate degree may be considered for admission provided they have achieved a minimum of 10 years of work experience at an intermediate management level and have demonstrated a strong academic aptitude (e.g., other post-secondary studies, GMAT score).

Applicants without an undergraduate degree should contact the Program Manager at Laurentian University for further information on the application process.

Presentation of a GMAT score is not required for admission but will strengthen an application.

Applicants are encouraged to contact Laurentian University staff for further clarification or information on the application process and requirements.
