John Molson School of Business
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The John Molson School of Business, formerly the Faculty of Commerce and Administration at Concordia University, boasts 5,500 undergraduate students, 300 graduate students and 35,000 alumni. The business school offers 18 different programs from 5 different departments, with the 2 most important being the Bachelor of Commerce (BComm) and the Masters in Business Administration (MBA) programs. The business school is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).
Both undergraduate and graduate students are active participants in both national and international university case competitions. The business school also hosts 2 of their own competitions: the Undergraduate National Case Competition and the MBA International Case Competition.
A select number of undergraduate students manage a $1,000,000 endowment equity portfolio every year as part of the Kenneth Woods Portfolio Management Program (KWPMP). The portfolio was formed in 2000 for the primary purpose of training undergraduate students in investment management.
The business school is located at the Sir George Williams campus of Concordia University and plans are underway for a new building to be built at the intersection of Guy Street and de Maisonneuve Blvd in downtown Montréal. In late March of 2006, the provincial Finance Minister for Québec announced a major financial commitment towards the building of the business school's new facilities.
