Canadian MBA Schools - Size of Student Population

The difference between smaller and larger school populations for MBA programs in Canada.



What is the difference between smaller and larger school populations for MBA programs in Canada?

Some students have a preference for a larger or smaller student population. The latter will typically encourage a more interactive environment between students and students and teachers and have smaller class sizes providing students with greater access to faculty should it be needed. Larger schools usually have bigger class sizes and may foster a sense of isolation between students and students and faculty as interaction among and between these groups is reduced. This greater distance may also encourage more independence on the part of the student. Larger schools also tend to be the more prestigious, have higher entrance requirements, and have graduates who are held in higher regards by recruiters and employers. Therefore, you may have greater employment opportunities by pursuing an MBA at a bigger school.
