The Sauder School of Business ranks as Canada's premier research-focused business school and a distinguished academic establishment. It consistently secures the highest amount of research funding from Canada's key federal organizations and surpasses other national business schools in both scholarly publications and academic citations. In 2012, Financial Times recognized Sauder as one of the global top 20 for research influence, while the Social Sciences Research Network (SSRN) positioned it 17th worldwide for business and management research among institutions outside the U.S. Sauder's faculty members serve as editors for prominent field-specific journals, with their contributions gaining international acclaim. At UBC's Sauder School of Business, exceptional teaching, a vibrant research environment, and a culture of collaboration thrive.
Tailored for research-oriented students, UBC's MSc in Business Administration offers an intensive program structured to equip graduates for doctoral studies and future academic careers.
