Ryerson MBA - Ted Rogers School of Management
Location: Toronto, ON
Ryerson is located in the heart of downtown Toronto. Ryerson has the reputation as a very hands on and industry friendly University, where as much importance is placed on the real-world skills as on academic theory. The full-time MBA program is a 12 month program. The part-time MBA program can be completed in 2 years. Preference is given to applicants with at least 2 years of full-time work experience after completing their undergraduate degree, but this is not an absolute requirement.
As Ryerson is a fairly new MBA school, it is difficult to get a sense of how strong the MBA program is overall. As the MBA is a 1-2 year degree, the target student is likely only a few years removed from their undergraduate degree.
Compared to most Canadian MBA programs, especially those based in Toronto, the tuition is very reasonable. The 1-year MBA is approximately $12,500.
Ryerson is not accredited by any of the 3 main MBA accreditation bodies (AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA)
Ryerson MBA Rankings
Ryerson is not currently ranked by any of the major MBA rankings (Financial Times, BusinessWeek, EIU, or QS).
Part of this can easily be attributed to the relative young age of the Ryerson MBA program.

Comments
I doubt there are many student who would have attended two universities for their MBA so I'll let you know how it goes.
I did a review and found out that the team of professors in the program at Ryerson is not well recognized, with growing bad reputation and stories (ratemyprofessor.com)
Do they have info. systems electives every year?
The Management of Tech and Innovation program is what I completed, you learn more about managing the implementation of various systems, as well as up and coming technologies from a market/investment perspective. Info system electives are available, and the profs teaching typically have experience in technology consulting (accenture, cap gem, etc.).
Is there anyway to get in touch with you?
I need to know some stuff about this MBA in Technology and Science.
Thanks,

Thanks very much.
I have recently been accepted for the Global MBA program at Ryerson for Fall 2012 and want to seek feedback on how you would rate this program compared to UFT and York. I am an international student from India with about 10 years of experience with media firms such as National Georaphic and Times of India. I am looking for a program that provides good value for money, time and is well recognized globally. Having said that I do realize Ryerson does not currently have a ranking. How is a Ryerson degree perceived in the Canadian market and does it have a strong alumini network?
I will be accompanied by my wife who will have to leave her job with KPMG and relocate if I was to accept the offer. Does it really make sense to go in for this program or should I reapply to other MBAs in a year?
Eager to hear flack on this.
