Dalhousie University's Master of Business Administration in Financial Services (MBA-FS) is a Master's level program, delivered via distance education, developed in partnership with the Canadian Securities Institute (CSI), Institute of Canadian Bankers (ICB), and LOMA Insurance. The Program is designed for individuals employed in the Financial services sector, particularly those employed at the executive and managerial levels, and aims to further students' respective 'abilities to exercise leadership and make sound general business decisions, honing their analytical skills, and sharpening their judgment in managerial and client service roles' and further 'exposing them to business concepts with applications inside and outside the industry, thereby enhancing performance in their present positions and increasing their scope of career opportunities.' The MBA-FS is offered in three streams (CSI, ICB, and LOMA), and the degree granted 'has full and equal status with all other Masters-level degrees approved and granted by Dalhousie University.' |
