Description Contents Requirements

The Master of Management & Professional program is unique in Canada. Since its beginning in 1988, originally as the MBA in Professional Accounting Program, the Program has offered a special blend of academic and professional training in a co-operative format. The result is a thorough, rigorous, stimulating preparation for professional accounting grounded in the understanding of managerial challenges which only study in one of the world's premier business schools can bring.

Students selected to enter the program will learn from many of the leading business scholars in Canada, and will experience their work terms in the most prestigious accounting firms in the country's financial and accounting capital.

Close proximity to Canada's business centre offers students a firsthand chance to sense the pulse of our economy and witness changes which will later affect the rest of the country. Business leaders often share their insights on campus.

As members of the University of Toronto community, graduate business students also benefit from the availability of its world-class research resources and facilities. Specifically, the MMPA Program is designed to offer students with non-business undergraduate degrees:

courses leading to a first-class Master's degree in Management;
plus all the course requirements necessary to prepare for the accounting profession's qualifying examinations;
plus co-operative educational experience to apply the learned concepts to real-life situations and provide valuable training for future employment.

The MMPA Program pays particular attention to the integration of academic and professional learning, and to the development of professional abilities, including:

oral and written communication;
cognitive learning;
problem solving on individual and team bases; and
a commitment to ongoing self development.

The program consists of five academic and two co-operative work terms extending over 27 months. Advanced standing is available for outstanding candidates. In such instances, the student commences his or her studies in the second term and completes the program in 24 months.
