519.1Some good schoolsTROOA::JMILLSthe fine art of surfacingWed Oct 30 1991 11:1218
The University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario has the reputation of  
being the "Harvard" of Canada.  From what I've heard the program concentrates 
entirely on case study.

I am currently attending the MBA program part-time at York University in  
Toronto.  It is a mix between theory and case study.  I am finding the program 
good and the faculty very informed.

Laurier University in Waterloo, Ont. has a very good undergraduate co-op  
program and runs a one year concentrated MBA program specifically catering to 
people with undergrads in Engineering and Sciences.

McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont. has a co-op MBA program.

This is by no means an exhaustive list of the "good" programs in Canada or even 
in Ontario.  In large part it depends on what you're looking for in a program.

    Wondering:  Is McGill a Business School?

    My understanding is that the University of B.C. has a very good to
    excellent rating for their MBA program, and an excellent rating for
    their PhD program.  The PhD program might vary within specialty areas
    such as marketing, international finance, etc.
    
    UBC does not operate on a "Case Study" basis.
    
    
519.4TOP FIVE MBA SCHOOLS IN CANADAGVA01::ATKINSONJust the facts kidThu Oct 31 1991 07:3021
    My dad sent me an article from the Globe & Mail awhile back concerning
    Canadian MBA schools. If I remeber correctly the top 5 MBA schools in
    Canada were (not in order):
    - Western (London, Ontario)
    - Dalhousie (Halifax, Nova Scotia)
    - Queens (Kingston, Ontario)
    - U of Toronto (Toronto, Ontario)
    - U of British Columbia (Vancouver ?, British Columbia)
    
    McGill does have a business school and a MBA program.
    
    I'm currently doing a part time MBA at the European University "campus"
    in Geneva, Switzerland. The main campus is in Brussels.
