The new School of Management program offers students a comprehensive pathway to business leadership through rigorous academic study and real-world experience. Designed to address the evolving needs of today's business environment, the program represents a significant investment in developing future business leaders with the right combination of theoretical knowledge and practical experience.
“The future of business leadership isn't just about textbook knowledge—it's about understanding real-world challenges and developing the agility to drive organizational success in a global context,” said Dr. Ian Austin, Dean of the Centre for Business. “This new degree program represents a strategic pathway, transforming passionate students into dynamic business professionals for a rapidly evolving marketplace.”
New opportunities in business leadership
The program is comprised of eight semesters of full-time study, including essential concepts in economics and financial accounting, and advanced training in risk management and strategic leadership. Through its focus on modern business challenges such as sustainability, globalization, and workplace diversity, the program equips graduates to become adaptable and skilled business leaders.
“Our management degree program at George Brown College is well-rounded and features all of the key areas a business leader needs to know – from negotiation techniques to managing risk and understanding micro- and macroeconomics,” notes Dr. Nadira Singh, Associate Dean of the School of Management. “It is a great option for students who would like to pursue a career in management or business development.”
Applied learning in the field
Our faculty members remain active industry members with strong connections to the field, ensuring the program remains aligned with current business best practices and on top of emerging trends. Students engage with real-world business scenarios throughout their study, culminating in a co-op work placement to put their learning into practice in the final year of study.
"Today's business environment demands leaders who can navigate complex challenges from day one," said George Brown College Vice-President Academic Dr. Eileen DeCourcy. "Our program ensures that our graduates emerge with the strategic insight and practical skills to make an impact in their chosen fields."
This new degree rounds out the roster of degree programs across GBC’s Centre for Business, which aims to prepare the next generation of business leaders with current, in-demand industry expertise.
