The Beedie School of Business ("Beedie") at Simon Fraser University is in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and is currently the largest business school in Western Canada. Simon Fraser University was founded in 1965; by 1982, the business discipline had grown to sufficient size to become its own distinct faculty, and the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree was established..
The Beedie School of Business operates on all three Simon Fraser University campuses, with over 3,800 undergraduate BBA students in the Vancouver suburbs of Burnaby and Surrey; over 700 MBA and graduate students in the Segal Graduate School in downtown Vancouver and SFU Surrey; non-credit programs at the director, executive and management levels; and a PhD program.
In 1968, Beedie established the Executive MBA (EMBA) program, the first of its kind in Canada. Since 2000, the school has launched the Management of Technology MBA, the Master of Science in Finance program, and a full-time and part-time MBA. In 2011, the school launched the world's first Executive MBA for the Americas in partnership with graduate business schools at Vanderbilt University (U.S.), Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (Mexico) and Institute of Management Foundation (Brazil). That same year, it launched Canada's first EMBA for Aboriginal Business and Leadership. In 2014, the school introduced the Graduate Certificate in Science and Technology Commercialization, a part-time certificate program providing research scientists and engineers with the frameworks, perspectives, and techniques needed for fostering product development and commercialization.
The Beedie School of Business has achieved international accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS). The school is also committed to integrating the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME). Beedie is ranked in the top ten business schools in Canada by Maclean's.
