Northern communities across the globe face special operational challenges. Building on the UNBC mission in teaching members of northern communities, the UNBC MBA program will pay special attention to the political, economic and social issues surrounding business operations in the North. Students have the option to undertake a project under faculty supervision, applying relevant theory while studying a substantial organizational issue. Students can also complete their MBA entirely through coursework. Classes are taught in blocks one weekend per month, allowing students to continue working while they learn. Small cohorts facilitate quality face-to-face interaction with professors and student peers. The total length of the MBA program is 21 months or 5 semesters. Students can choose from two locations; in Prince George, British Columbia at the UNBC campus, or in Vancouver, British Columbia at the Langara College Campus.
