About Smith MBA at Queen's University
Smith School of Business is one of the world's premier business schools, consistently capturing top international rankings for its programs. The world-class reputation of this small, elite school is a testament to the high quality of its programs, its faculty and its students - who come from Canada and abroad. The Smith MBA utilizes an innovative approach to team-based learning that is far more advanced than that used in other MBA programs. Bloomberg BusinessWeek ranks Smith MBA #1 in the world for Teamwork. We believe strongly in our team-based approach because it mirrors today’s progressive workplace. You will leave the program with a thorough understanding of the best practices for successful team-building and teamwork, well-prepared to be a valuable member of a high-performance team. While other MBA programs talk about “teamwork”, what they are actually referring to is “group work” – a very different concept. At Smith, you are assigned to a team for the core of the program, and a significant portion of your overall grade is derived from teamwork. Team members collaborate on assignments, projects and presentations, drawing on the skills and experience of individual team members, greatly enhancing the learning experience.

Admission Requirements

We are seeking exceptionally motivated candidates who have demonstrated:

  • academic excellence; career progression
  • leadership or leadership potential (i.e. increased responsibility with each successive position)
  • integrity and a strong sense of ethics
  •  superior communication and interpersonal skills
  • ability to work well in a team environment

Successful applicants will meet the following minimum requirements:

  • Undergraduate Education
  • Typically, we require that candidates possess a four-year undergraduate degree from a recognized university. We recognize, however, that some universities only award three-year degrees, and therefore the Admissions Committee will make a determination on the suitability of the undergraduate degree when assessing a candidate’s complete admission file. Successful candidates will typically possess a minimum B+ average (roughly equivalent to 75%) in the final two years of their undergraduate program.
  • Work Experience

    While most candidates possess a minimum of two years' work experience, we will consider applications from exceptional candidates with less than two years of experience. Co-op placements and post-doctoral fellowships are also given consideration.

    Have you recently finished your undergraduate degree? You might be interested in the  Graduate Diploma in Business. This 4-month summer program not only allows you learn business fundamentals, but the credits earned can be applied towards a Smith MBA in the future.

  • References:
  • Two professional references.
  • GMAT or GRE Score:
  • The Smith Full-Time MBA requires the GMAT score to be eligible for admissions, however, in special circumstances we will consider the GRE in combination with a strong profile. If you are seeking to work in the Finance or Consulting industry post MBA, you may be required to provide your GMAT score to a prospective employer. Therefore, we highly recommend that you thoroughly prepare for and write the GMAT. Most students have GMAT scores in excess of 600. To register to write the GMAT, visit mba.com. If you choose to take the GRE, you can use the GRE Comparison Table for Business Schools to calculate your equivalent GMAT score. The competitive recommendation is to have a GRE score of 315+ on the combined verbal and quantitative section.

    Please send us your official GMAT or GRE score, as your file will not be reviewed until we receive it. We cannot accept photocopies or faxed score reports. GMAT and GRE scores are valid if written within the last five years. You may arrange to have the official results sent directly from the testing service organization. You will not be penalized for having written either test on multiple occasions, as we take the highest score not necessarily the most recent.

    Official score can be sent to Smith School of Business under the program name Queen's Full-Time MBA using the following test codes:
    GMAT: Q21-QZ-68
    GRE: 4170

  • English Proficiency Test

    When applicable, an acceptable score on one of the approved English facility tests (TOEFL, IELTS, PTE or MELAB).
