The Kenneth Levene Graduate School of Business offers three graduate management programs:
Master of Business Administration (MBA)
The Faculty of Business Administration offers the Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) program, primarily for working managers and professionals who wish to earn a graduate degree part-time. Full-time students are also welcome. There are several ways you will benefit from the Kenneth Levene MBA which include:
- Share insights and ideas with mature student colleagues from diverse education and professional backgrounds
- Provide a solid academic rounding in the functional areas such as human resource management, organizational behaviour, marketing, project management, and financial management
- Design a course package that best meets the needs of your academic and professional goals
The MBA offers students flexibility to reflect their personal learning goals, including course based vs. project based programs and extensive variety between the types of electives students can select. Courses are offered in the evenings and Saturdays throughout the year. Recently, the Faculty has offered one week block courses as well as on-line courses to provide students more choice to accommodate work and family commitments.
The MBA program consists of 10 courses, or eight graduate courses and a project, for a total of 30 credit hours.
Master of Human Resource Management (MHRM)
The education you will receive in the Master of Human Resources Management (MHRM) program at the University of Regina will prepare you for the exciting challenges you will face as an HR professional. Throughout the curriculum, learners enhance their human resource management skills and knowledge and acquire the tools needed to become strategic business partners with their peers and senior managers in their organizations.
Some of the key benefits of the MHRM program are:
● Courses are offered as 13-week web-based course and one-week face-to-face courses, allowing students to continue with their careers while earning a degree.
● Students design a course package that best meets their career objectives, with options from the Master of Business Administration program and from the Master of Human Resource Development program offered through the Faculty of Education.
● Students gain a broader perspective from formal and informal interaction with MBA and MHRD students in common courses.
Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA)
The Executive MBA is an intensive accelerated experience that requires a high level of commitment from participants. This program is intended for mid-career middle- and senior-level managers who have extensive business experience, and who require a graduate business education to advance their careers. Employer support is a necessary and required component of the program (either in the form of assistance with tuition fees and/or time off work to accommodate the MBA study workload).
The 16-month Executive MBA program is scheduled for one full day each week, alternating between Fridays and Saturdays. Over the course of 16 months (Fall, Winter, and Fall semesters), participants in this program take classes on 13 full days each semester (i.e., 6 or 7 Fridays and 6 or 7 Saturdays). On each of these 13 full days in a given semester, participants take four courses in two-hour time blocks.
To kick-off the program, a one-week intensive block course is scheduled in late August just prior to the Fall semester, and a second one-week intensive block course is offered in June (i.e., after the Fall and Winter semesters of study have been completed). All courses in the program are required (no exemptions). An international study tour is scheduled directly after the first two semesters.
The Executive MBA program concludes with a 40 page Research Paper that students prepare after completing all their courses. This required research paper represents a capstone experience which should use and incorporate the knowledge and skills acquired during the course of study leading to the Master’s degree. Research papers can include experiments, quasi-experiments, sample surveys, case studies, ethnographies, historical studies, and integrative meta-analyses of primary research. All of these methods are aimed at understanding and improving business theory and practice.
