Individuals applying for admission to Athabasca must hold a degree at an accredited university and have completed at least three years of profession or managerial experience, or hold an acceptable professional designation such as a CA, CMA, CGA, CPP or IPS, and have completed a minimum of five years of professional or managerial experience illustrating progressive responsibility. Our programme creates a virtual environment that connects top professors with students from across Canada and twenty-three countries worldwide. The result is a high-quality graduate level education that is affordable and accessible from virtually anywhere at anytime, said Carr. Approximately 4 per cent of the MBA students are international students, over one-third are from Ontario, and just below one third live in Alberta. No formal classes exist.
Home study is individual study online.
I think Athabasca University can deliver excellent education for a particular audience, said UTM Professor Cecil Houston. The company has contracts across North America, including a deal to develop the University of Guelph s online MBA programme. This is the time for online education, and if we don t take the opportunity right now, then that window may close. Desire2Learn develops high school courses that incorporate chat rooms, discussion boards and virtual presentations. Students and instructors stay in contact via electronic bulletin boards monitored by experts.
