Distinctive Strengths and Identity

We are a business school with two prestigious global accreditations. As one of only eight Canadian business schools accredited by both the Association for the Advancement of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD), we strive for excellence and leadership across all academic domains.

Our EFMD accreditation is reinforced through the Business School Impact System (BSIS), which assesses our societal, economic, and environmental impact and supports continuous improvement aligned with global standards. Learn more about our impact.

Our faculty expertise and commitment to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) position us as leaders in responsible business and organizational practice with a focus on positive social impact. Our traditional focus on entrepreneurial thinking and innovation, alongside a strong foundation in core and emerging disciplinary areas, reflect our commitment to ensuring learners acquire essential management knowledge and skills. This approach, coupled with practical engagement outside the classroom, helps our learners develop the problem-solving capacity needed in an increasingly complex and turbulent environment.

Our excellent track record of creating and disseminating theoretical and applied research of the highest quality enhances knowledge and business and organizational practice. Through our longstanding relationships with businesses, organizations, and community leaders, the impact of this scholarly work extends beyond the Atlantic region to other parts of Canada and the world at large.
