Located in Toronto, Canada's largest city and main financial centre, York University's Schulich School of Business is at the heart of a vibrant and multicultural community. Students choose to study at Schulich because of its reputation for excellent facilities, quality of education, internationally diverse student body and faculty, and a global network that includes alliances with more than 50 leading business schools and 150 global corporations in over 50 countries.

Schulich is ranked #1 in Canada (Canadian Business 2001) and consistently ranked among the top 10 non-US schools in the world (Financial Times 2002, Wall Street Journal 2001, Forbes 2001).

For more than 35 years, the Schulich School of Business at York University (formerly the Faculty of Administrative Studies) has focused on business education that graduates men and women who will succeed throughout their careers in a complex and constantly changing world. Founded in 1966 in Toronto, Canada's corporate center, Schulich has built a strong reputation, both at home and abroad, for richly diverse, creative, real-world programs at the undergraduate, graduate, postgraduate and executive education levels. These include Canada's first International MBA program (IMBA), as well as the country's first comprehensive offerings in areas such as Financial Services, Real Property Management, and the Arts and Media Administration.

Schulich offers flexible year-round studies and one of the broadest ranges of business degrees and degree specialization of any business school in North America. As a result, students become strong generalists, and take advantage of Schulich's wide-ranging specializing options. Schulich graduates build successful careers in the private, public and nonprofit sectors.

Schulich's faculty include award-winning teachers, authors and pioneers in their respective fields. Faculty research is a blend of rigour and relevance, as well as national and international issues.

Schulich and York's Osgoode Hall Law School offer a four-year joint program leading to joint Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degrees.

Graduates from this highly challenging program follow career paths in which business and law overlap. Students normally specialize in some business/law combination such as environmental law/business management; economic regulation; finance; international business; corporate/commercial; corporate tax; labour law/labour relations; public administration; and real property development. Regardless of their proposed career path, students should always ensure sufficient breadth in their legal studies to prepare for the Bar Admissions Course and the demands of a legal career.

Schulich and York's Faculty of Fine Arts have established a three-year joint degree program leading to a Master of Business Administration (MBA) combined with a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) or Master of Arts (MA) in fine arts.

Students can enrol in one of two fine arts streams for the joint program. The areas of fine arts specialization within the MBA/MFA stream are visual arts, theatre or film. The areas of specialization within the MBA/MA stream are art history, dance or music.

Graduates of either stream will follow career paths in which knowledge of the arts and of management and business are required. The business and arts components of the MBA and MFA (or MA) complement each other in focus and offer excellent preparation for those interested in management careers in the arts and cultural sectors.

With continuing government downsizing, the professional requirements for success in the public sector are increasing rapidly. York's restructured Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree provides a unique combination of management education, program analysis and evaluation, and public policy analysis and development. In designing and developing the MPA program, Schulich has joined forces with members of York University's Political Science Department.

The School welcomes international students as valued members of its BBA/iBBA, MBA, IMBA, MBA/LLB, MPA, MFA/MBA and PhD programs. Many come to Schulich on exchange from partner business schools around the world. Schulich's student-run Schulich International Committee helps international students adjust to living and studying in Toronto, Canada's most cosmopolitan city. As well, Schulich's own Student Services & International Relations offers counseling, academic advising and support services, help with housing, and advising on visa procedures. Before applying, international students should check English language proficiency and Canadian immigration requirements, as well as international student fees.

Students have the opportunity to pursue rewarding careers in a wide range of endeavours, both in Canada and around the world. Students can take advantage of our exchange partners, our extensive global linkages to corporate recruiters, our close industry connections and our worldwide network of alumni.

Schulich seeks individuals who are natural leaders, who are innovative and entrepreneurial in nature and who will make a difference in the world of business.
