Financial information

At Dalhousie, we want our students to focus on their studies, rather than worry about their personal finances. We offer competitive tuition rates and funding programs to support graduate students in almost all of our degree programs.

Program options

Core curriculum: Develop a diverse set of fundamental business skills through our core curriculum. The Dalhousie edge is its blended online learning model which allows for the flexibility of online learning while providing the opportunity to develop rich personal connections with your classmates through face-to-face intensives. 

Core course intensives: Spend 3.5 days at the end of each term in locations such as Halifax, Toronto, Calgary, or Vancouver. Activities and goals of intensives can vary depending on the nature of the class and instructor. They may include lectures, presentations, simulations, group activities, individual assignments, and guest speakers. 

Electives: In addition to the core curriculum, you’ll complete 9 credit hours of specialized electives. Elective classes are designed to take your knowledge to the next level. The Dalhousie MBA program currently offers electives in six specialized areas. Choose electives from any of the specialized areas or combine MBA electives with graduate offerings from programs within and outside of Faculty of Management.

  • Finance
  • Leadership 
  • Entrepreneurship and Innovation  
  • Enterprise Analytics

All graduate programs at Dalhousie are collaboratively delivered by a home Faculty and the Faculty of Graduate Studies.
