Georgian College, University Canada West Team to Offer Fast-tracked MBA

Georgian College business program students, alumni, College staff, and an ever growing number of people in business who need a degree to reach their goals, have two things in common: they're busy people and they want to earn their degrees quickly.

The University Canada West President and a team of internationally respected educators and business leaders have created a unique university experience designed to ladder College Diploma graduates their BCOM in one year and a MBA in one additional year.

The team includes the past Chancellor of the University of Alberta Dr. Myer Horowitz and Sir Peter North. Dr Horowitz currently serves as University Canada West's Chancellor and Chair of its Academic Council. Sir Peter North is The Principal of Jesus College, Oxford. Sir Peter is also a former Vice Chancellor of Oxford University. He also serves on the University Canada West Academic Council.

"We've created an education experience that is many ways, quite different than what most universities offer," says University Canada West's president. Built around a unique learning experience, the University Canada West team has created "finishfaster".

University Canada West says students are not subject to lecture; rather they are engaged in thought-provoking discussion with their professors, learning coaches and program assistants.

University Canada West's class sizes are small, staff is exceptional and courses deal with current, real-world issues, he says.

University Canada West, in partnership with Georgian College, offers a Degree Completion program that moves a Georgian College graduate to a degree in one year at the Victoria, B.C. Campus, or for those who need to stay close to home, in two years on-line. In one additional year they can earn an MBA on-line or on-campus.
