Benefit from team-based learning
The Telfer Executive MBA curriculum features a team-based approach to learning. When you begin the program, you are placed into a 4-to 6-person team that work for the duration of the program, including for your six consulting projects. This approach requires you to rely on the strengths and diverse experience of your peers and learn to build successful teams, while also reflecting and growing personally.
