The Schulich School of Business is York University's business school located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Schulich offers undergraduate and graduate programs in business administration, finance, public administration and international business as well as a number of PhD and executive programs. Originally known as the Faculty of Administrative Studies (FAS), it was renamed in 1995 after Seymour Schulich, a major benefactor who has donated $15 million to the school.[1] Although the Schulich School is a faculty of York University, it operates under a separate budget. Its dean is Dezsö J. Horváth.

Primarily located at the Seymour Schulich Building on the Keele Campus in Toronto, Ontario, the school also maintains an executive education centre in Toronto's Financial District in downtown Toronto and a satellite campus in Hyderabad, India. The School also operates representative offices in Beijing and Shanghai, China; Mumbai, India; Seoul, South Korea; and Moscow, Russia. Schulich offers undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate business degrees that lead to careers in the private, public and nonprofit sectors, and has more than 21,000 alumni working in approximately 90 countries. Schulich pioneered Canada’s first International MBA (IMBA) and International BBA (iBBA) degrees, as well as North America’s first cross-border executive MBA degree, the Kellogg-Schulich Executive MBA. Schulich’s Executive Education Centre provides executive development programs annually to more than 16,000 executives in Canada and abroad.

History

The Schulich School of Business was known as the Faculty of Administrative Studies which was founded in 1966.[2] Before the establishment of the Seymour Schulich Building on the Keele Campus in 2003, the school was run from a York University building, currently renamed as Health, Nursing & Environmental Studies Building. In 1995, following a major monetary donation from Canadian billionaire Seymour Schulich, the school underwent a series of changes that created the present-day Schulich School of Business.

The Seymour Schulich Building, opened in August 2003, is a $102-million complex. The building was jointly designed by Siamak Hariri and Robbie/Young & Wright Architects Inc. and was awarded the Governor General's Medal in Architecture in 2006.[3] The Seymour Schulich Building and its Executive Learning Centre houses Peter F.

Miles S. Nadal Management Centre

Management programs are held in downtown Toronto at the Miles S. Nadal Management Centre which is located in the Ernst & Young Tower of the Toronto Dominion Centre. The closest subway stations to the downtown location are King, Union and St. Andrew's on the Yonge-University-Spadina line.

India Campus

The Schulich School is currently constructing a campus in Hyderabad, India.[4] The campus, to be named the Schulich GMR Campus, is accredited by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and the inaugural class began in September 2013[citation needed]. During the first 8 months of students study in Hyderabad to develop a strong foundation in business management fundamentals. In August, students travel to Toronto as part of the curriculum to attain international education during Year 2 at Schulich's main campus. For the next eight months (two terms), they develop more specialized expertise as they tailor their MBA studies to meet career goals.

Graduate Programs

The Schulich School of Business offers a number of graduate programs:

Undergraduate Programs

Overview

Schulich offers two undergraduate programs:

  • BBA - Bachelor of Business Administration
  • iBBA - International Bachelor of Business Administration

In 2013–2014, the iBBA program will be in its 14th class, and the BBA program will be in its 36th.

Admissions

The Schulich School of Business maintains a highly selective admission standard for its undergraduate programs. The BBA and iBBA programs together enroll around 380 students (280 for BBA and 100 for iBBA) from an average of 4,500 to 5,000 applicants per year, providing an acceptance rate of approximately 8%.[5] Students applying to the BBA/iBBA program must have a low 90s average to remain competitive; the cut-off line for undergraduate applicants in 2010 stood at 90.5%, with the overall average for incoming undergraduates being 92.7%. Applicants must also submit a Supplementary Information Form that includes a summary of the organizations, sports teams, volunteer or paid work that the applicant has been involved in. There are two essay type questions on the Supplementary Information Form. All undergraduate applicants must take at least 6 U and M courses, but cannot take more than 2 M courses in the same discipline. Applicants must also take Grade 12 English (U) and Grade 12 Advanced Functions and either Grade 12 Data Management or Grade 12 Calculus (Calculus Recommended).

Academics

Similar to the graduate program, students are not required to specialize in a discipline. However, students can choose each of one or two specialty areas such as: Accounting, Economics, Entrepreneurship and Family Business, Finance, International Business, Marketing, Organization Studies or Operations Management & Information Systems, and Strategic Management. iBBA students are also required to complete one semester of study abroad at one of Schulich's partner schools and to take a foreign language course every year. The most popular specializations include Accounting, Finance and Marketing.

International Exchange

Any student enrolled in the BBA/iBBA program may apply for one Study Abroad term. Students may apply for a full academic year only in cases where a full year option is available as per the information on individual partner schools. Exchange term could either be the second semester of Year 3, or first and second semester of Year 4. Schulich partners with 56 exchange partner universities in 28 different countries. Less than 50% of the student body would go on exchange during their studies at Schulich. Note: exchange is mandatory for iBBA students as it is a part of their graduation requirements.

Notable alumni

Student clubs

There are two student government bodies responsible for the student experience at Schulich. On the undergraduate level, students can participate in annual elections to become representatives in the Undergraduate Business Council (the UBC). Graduate students have the same opportunity with the Graduate Business council.

Additionally, students can become members and hold position in various student organizations. Each of these organizations solicits membership from newly admitted students during Club Week, the first week of classes. Very often there is a fee of $20 for membership, which helps to cover the costs of many of the events that each organization holds throughout the academic year. Such events include guest speakers, field trips, case competitions, wine-and-cheese functions and much more. The executive committee for each association is elected towards the end of every academic year for leadership in the following year.[16]
