You can study abroad through a summer exchange program or through a full-term exchange during either the fall or spring terms of the elective year in the Two-Year MBA Program.

Starting in 2007, Rotman introduced two-week study tours to China and India, giving students the opportunity to explore the business and cultural environments of these emerging economic superpowers.

The Rotman School of Management has set out to redesign business education for the 21st century and become one of the world's top-tier business schools.

Located in the heart of Toronto -- North America's third-largest financial centre and one of the world's most culturally-diverse cities -- the School is developing an innovative curriculum built around Integrative ThinkingTM and Business DesignTM.

The School’s MBA program is now ranked in the top 15 in North America by the Financial Times. These are just some of the reasons why Bruce Nussbaum recently wrote in Business Week Online, "Managers who want to 'get' the new innovation paradigm should check out [Rotman's] MBA and exec-ed programs."

The current model of business education -- which divides business into a number of functional areas -- has changed little since its introduction in the early 20th century. Although this model provided global leadership for nearly a century, its inherent flaws are becoming increasingly problematic as the modern economy takes shape. One of the weaknesses of the traditional approach is that business problems rarely lie within the boundaries of functional areas, and cannot be resolved using the narrow models developed within those boundaries.

Today's business problems sprawl messily across the functions -- and across models -- creating a need for managers who can constructively face the tensions of opposing models, and instead of choosing one at the expense of the other, generate a creative resolution in the form of new model that contains elements of both, but is superior to each. In short, modern leadership requires Integrative Thinking.

The Rotman School’s curriculum is constantly evolving, with the introduction of new courses, content, and approaches. The Rotman School is developing a new way to think, and you are invited to be a part of it.
