Students will be required to spend the first two years of residency completing the first-year programs of the MBA and MN degrees respectively. During the first year of the Program, students will be enrolled exclusively in the Joseph L. Rotman School of Management, in which they will complete the standard first year requirements of the M.B.A. degree. In the third year of the Program, students will be required to complete a series of courses selected from a prescribed menu of graduate MN and second-year MBA courses drawn from the curricula of both institutions. Two of the required courses include two periods of concentrated clinical practice, each of which is the equivalent of one full-course. One half-course, which students must select from courses offered by the Graduate Department of Nursing Science.
Courses listed below have different weightings.
1 half-course may be taken in any of the graduate departments. Since an integrated and intense exposure to clinical and managerial decision making is the core objective of the combined Program, certain limitations are imposed on candidates wishing to enter the Program. Students must attend the orientation program at the Rotman School of Management in the fall just preceding their entry into the first year of the MBA program. The requirement that students commence their studies in the Faculty of Management will be waived for those students applying to the program while enrolled in the M.N. Program in the Department of Nursing Science. These students, if accepted into the program, will automatically commence their studies in the Faculty of Management the following academic year.
