Alumni Comments

"I had looked at all the other programs as well, and the structure was exactly what I needed - I could go to classes later in the day, at night or weekends and so it didn't affect my qork too greatly, and I could do the program in one year, with the option of extending to two or three years if something unforeseen did come up."
- Dorothy L. Barrie, MBA 2009
"I would rate the experience at the Edwards School of Business MBA program as transformational and lots of fun and highly recommend it to people wanting to jump start their careers."
- Sean McAlpine, MBA 2007
"Previous to the MBA program I had been employed as a middle manager for an Aboriginal education institution. Most of my management training was on the job trial and error. The MBA program has provided me the opportunity to study management theory, look at other Aboriginal organizations across and Canada and around the world and bring this knowledge back to my community."
- Tavia Inkster, MBA 2006
"The Orientation was very intense, very informative, and a great way to bring people from various backgrounds together. It gave everyone an opportunity to learn about themselves, and to gain an appreciation of their fellow students and how best to relate to them. Overall, it was very professional, and very well organized."
- Sanjeev Singh, MBA 2005
"Saskatoon turns out to be one of the most attractive and unforgettable cities in my memories about Canada. I am so grateful to the MBA program for endowing me with the gifts of personal growth and serving as a pedestal for my career in the challenging business arena. Furthermore, I am thankful to the MBA program for bestowing me with great friends and brilliant professors that I will treasure my whole life."

"The cohort based system of the University of Saskatchewan MBA is by far my most enriching classroom experience. Gathering perspectives, not only from professors, but from the vast and diverse experience of classmates has provided an outstanding learning environment. The cohort model facilitates teamwork, trust, and greatly reduces ‘free-rider' risks. Overall, the MBA program at the University of Saskatchewan is an excellent choice for people who wish to further their education. The skills learned along with the friends made will last a lifetime."
- Shane Lowenberger, MBA 2004
"My MBA taught me that people are the key of getting ahead. Without the relationships bank being full, success is far off. The MBA program at the U of S reinforced that through projects and group work. I also gained an appreciation for the major influences and resulting benefits from a culturally diverse team. Cross pollination of ideas and better solutions result when cultures meet ina friendly atmosphere such as this program."
- Jason Pollock, MBA 1998
"No other degree program pulls together students with such diverse educational, employment and experiential backgrounds - it can and should be a life-changing experience."
- Laura Turner, MBA 1997
"The MBA program was a bit of a 'boot camp' for what to expect in the business world. It taught me that you not only have to 'know your stuff', you have to be able to communicate your ideas clearly and concisely and be able to navigate through all the challenges of organizational life."
- Blair Swystun, MBA 1983
