Not all MBA programs are created equal. What sets the Asper MBA program apart?

Our intimate community connections.

As an Asper MBA student, you are linked directly to the business community through the Associates and Young Associates, organizations whose members are some of Manitoba’s most dynamic and influential business leaders. Leaders who will share the knowledge, and global experience currently shaping business management in this country – and beyond.

Some of the many ways the Associates and Young Associates will accelerate your education and your career:

• Participation of members of the Associates in the classroom provides a rich and invaluable combination of theory and practice.
• MBA students participate in events run by members of the Associates. These events include luncheons and lecture series, giving you unparalleled opportunities to network and build relationships to enrich your career options.
• Attend the Associates’ annual International Distinguished Entrepreneur Award (I.D.E.A.) Dinner. A premier event in the Canadian business world, this award honours individuals who’ve achieved international stature and outstanding entrepreneurial success, and made exemplary contributions to the economic life of Canada and the world. We’re talking big-league names like Richard Branson, Martha Stewart and Jim Sinegal, co-founder and CEO of Costco.
• Automatically receive exclusive membership in the Young Associates, an organization comprised of young business leaders representing virtually every sector of the Manitoba economy. Membership in YA will put you on track to becoming a business leader of tomorrow by opening the door to networking opportunities and behind-the-scenes tours of Winnipeg’s most dynamic companies.

The opportunities for connection don’t stop there.

In the classroom, you’ll share ideas with culturally diverse faculty whose global perspectives provide you with the knowledge you’ll need to make business decisions that matter.

Outside the classroom, you’ll gain valuable leadership experience by taking part in aMBAsa, the Asper MBA Students’ Association, by participating in special events and initiatives aMBAsa organizes to raise funds for charities and other worthwhile causes.

So invest in yourself. Make connections with people whose ideas, perspectives and passion will inspire you, expand your choices, and accelerate your career.
