Preparing Grad Students for SFU's MBA program

In the computer lab for SAS Practice
A group of new grad students started this summer's Pre Masters Program which is a direct pathway to the highly recognized SFU's MBA just about a week ago at Fraser International College in the Burnaby campus. This group of students were one of the most diversely represented yet, coming from Ukraine, India, Indonesia, South Korea and China. After the first week of familiarization and course introduction, the second week was more of transitioning to some serious learning. Their course load included Quantitative Analytics, Collaborative Work Environments, Writing Literacy, Intercultural Communications and Case Competition Capstone.

Most of them have been here less than two weeks and already adjusted back to being a full time student again. This pre masters program will help them transition and gain the necessary experience to a successful MBA experience. In fact this is my third year with this program and I have had the opportunity to transition and work with at least two previous batches of pre masters program students that have gone on to successfully graduated from the SFU's MBA program. I have been involved with the development of the pre masters program since initiation.
