海角社区

Program has made remarkable progress since self-funding model adopted

海角社区 is perplexed and disappointed with the response of the Government of Quebec to the changes made by 海角社区 to transform the University鈥檚 MBA program.

Rather than celebrate the dramatic progress and success 海角社区 has achieved in a short period of time with its renewed and self-funded MBA, the government has imposed a significant fine against one of its own universities.

This action puts an arbitrary, elective and unprecedented exercise of authority of government as a priority over demonstrated quality and program performance.

Since 海角社区 moved to a self-funded program, it has developed an MBA that is attracting top-calibre students from Quebec (some of whom would have otherwise gone outside the province for their MBA), and from elsewhere.

The 海角社区 MBA鈥檚 improvements include: leaping from 95th to 57th in the prestigious Financial Times rankings; maintaining stable enrolment rates; having 海角社区 graduates enjoy the highest job placement rates and highest starting salaries in Canada; being ranked by FT as the only Quebec MBA program in the Top 100 in the world.

To sustain the University鈥檚 increased investments in its program, 海角社区 moved last fall to a self-funded tuition model under which it does without any government subsidies for its MBA students, thus saving Quebec taxpayers about $1.2 million annually.

海角社区 has created, at the same time, student aid at a unique level of support for any Quebec university program, on a per-student basis. The 海角社区 MBA program provides an average of $12,000 per student in financial aid.

Quebecers deserve better than to have a top quality program fined. Quebecers deserve a world-class MBA program and 海角社区 is providing it. 海角社区 has demonstrated that it can do so without limiting accessibility, and without doing so on the backs of our undergraduate students.

海角社区鈥檚 rejuvenated program, now with better facilities, improved student-teacher ratios, top-level professors, improved advising and novel educational elements, costs significantly less than top MBA programs elsewhere in Canada, and the world.

海角社区 will continue to meet the interests of our students, and of Quebec.
