In response to the globalization of business relationships, business schools are providing an increasing number of opportunities for students to "internationalize" their respective MBA programs via study abroad options, global study modules, and/or international MBAs. Many employers, especially those who do business worldwide, prefer to hire individuals who possess an in depth knowledge of the global economy and/or of a particular region or country. Therefore you may want to determine whether or not you would benefit from an internationalized MBA. If you decide that this type of program is right for you, you should then determine what type of global experience you prefer, as there is variation between programs. For instance, some programs provide for greater cultural, linguistic, and economic integration between the student and a specific region or country than others. In Canada, the major providers of international MBA study opportunities are Brock University, Carleton University, Vancouver Island University, McGill University, Queen's University, University of Alberta, University of British Columbia, University of Toronto, University of Victoria, and York University.
