Master of Business Administration (Global MBA): Vancouver

The NYIT-Vancouver program is based on NYIT programs offered and approved in New York. The Vancouver program is offered under the consent of the Minister of Advanced Education of British Columbia. Courses are taught by professors from NYIT's New York campuses or by local faculty. In addition to standard New York content, Canadian content is added to ensure that students are fully competitive in the Canadian environment.

The graduate program leading to the Global Master of Business Administration is a highly interdisciplinary program, whose mission is to prepare students to lead effectively in a technology intensive global economy.

Towards achieving this mission, the program aims to strengthen the student's ability to:

• Evaluate and improve business operations and processes;
• Collaboratively address current social and culture-specific business issues;  and,
• Utilize information, analyze, and report on environmental business sustainability.
 

The Global MBA program serves

• students entering the program immediately after completing their bachelor's degree,
• experienced business professionals seeking to advance their careers, and
• international students who wish to share their multicultural perspectives, all of whom aspire to contribute to the global marketplace.

NYIT Vancouver values students who are motivated, involved with their profession and community, excellent communicators with strong interpersonal skills, and aspire to leadership roles in today's technology intensive marketplace.

MBA Programmatic Learning Goals:

Upon graduation from the Global MBA, the graduating student will be able to demonstrate attainment of programmatic learning goals. The degree of attainment realized is a shared and collaborative responsibility that engages students, faculty, staff, and other stakeholder groups, working together to maximize students' opportunities to be successful.

For each program, programmatic learning goals are further decomposed into learning objectives (by course), and students receive an "assessment scorecard" as they progress through the academic program detailing their attainment of each goal. Through the use of criterion scores students are informed of their progression through the academic program.

The aim is to deliver the academic program within the context of cultivating external partnerships with governmental and ministerial, industry, and community agencies. In this spirit, students are encouraged to explore the Experiential Education platforms, including small group consulting experience (practicum); academic service learning (class engagement into non-profit sector work for the agencies or community); Dean's student Intern programs (targeted projects for one student working with a faculty mentor); corporate challenges (case studies developed jointly by the Division and the partner and subsequently addressed by teams of students); and challenge courses (instructed jointly by faculty and external partners and addressing relevant external challenges). The curriculum also builds upon a curriculum strongly supported by technology, including software that is closely aligned with the professional workspace, and includes Bloomberg, Compustat, E-Views, Oracle/Peoplesoft, and SPSS, among others. In this way MBA students harness the transformational impact of technology on business with the long-term objective of creating value-adding contributions to their employer, upon graduation.

Triple Platforms of Excellence:

In support of the mission, the three platforms of excellence, Professional Enrichment, Experiential Education, and Student Advancement, have been developed within the program to advance the Division's mission and ensure student success. All students are advised to refer to the brochures for each of these three platforms, and speak to their advisor concerning activities.

Global MBA Academic Policies and Standards (Vancouver):

The Division of Business implements processes for the Global MBA degree programs that are in addition to those of the University for the purpose of ensuring effective student selection and retention. Division of Business academic policies are in addition to NYIT academic policies and standards.

Waivers and Transfers:

1. The Global MBA non-waiveable program core credit hour requirement must be completed in the Division of Business in its entirety;
2. Waivers: Undergraduate and graduate coursework completed elsewhere, but only from an accredited institution, may be used to waive credit hour requirements in the Global MBA waiveable program core, if equivalencies are established;
