University of Calgary
Faculty
Your professors are teachers first and foremost: their job is to expose you to new possibilities and new experiences based on the latest management research. They are also your mentors and coaches. They will expect you to reflect on and test out new concepts, and reshape your actions to achieve better performance.
You will benefit directly from the fact that our Executive MBA program is jointly sponsored by the Universities of Calgary and Alberta. By pooling our resources, we have 140 professors – the largest business faculty in the country and the depth to ensure that you get the very best professor in a particular discipline. Faculty members are PhD-qualified and have won numerous university teaching awards as well as national honours such as the 3M Teaching Fellowship and the National Post “Leaders in Management Education” Award.
Faculty members stay current by doing consulting work for leading companies internationally and by teaching in executive development programs. They are a valuable resource, not only while you’re in the program but also as part of your professional network for the rest of your career.
