The UBC Sauder School of Business is a faculty at the University of British Columbia. The faculty is located in Vancouver on UBC’s Point Grey campus and has a secondary teaching facility at UBC Robson Square downtown. UBC Sauder is accredited by AACSB.
First established in 1956, the UBC Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration was renamed UBC Sauder School of Business in 2003, as a result of a donation of a $20 million endowment by Dr. William Sauder. As a result of a donation from Vancouver business philanthropist Robert H. Lee to support graduate-level education, the Robert H. Lee Graduate School was established at UBC Sauder opened in 2006.
As of 2012, the UBC Sauder School of Business completed a major renovation to its Henry Angus Building on the UBC campus, adding 55,000 square feet to the original 216,000 square-foot building. Designed by Acton Ostry Architects, the renovation added the Cannacord Learning Commons, Wayne Dean Investment Analysis Centre, and the Bruce Birmingham Undergraduate Centre along with new classrooms and a conference center. The current Dean is Robert Helsley.
The UBC Sauder School of Business offers the following programs:
The 16-month full-time MBA has one of North America's most culturally diverse student bodies, with 65-70% of students coming from outside Canada. The part-time MBA, covering the same material as the full-time MBA, is 28 months in length, with classes delivered every two to three weekends at the UBC Point Grey campus. MBA applicants typically have an undergraduate degree, several years of work experience, and a GMAT score of 630-640.
UBC Sauder's MBA program offers specialized career tracks combined with practical experience. The program focuses on experimental learning and global immersion. The curriculum, built around experiential learning, builds on five themes: creativity, decision-making, ethics and sustainability, global issues and macroeconomics, and leadership development. Outside the classroom, students will be exposed to international business and gain experience with the Global Immersion Program, and have the chance to choose between one of three career tracks (in Finance, Business Innovation & Experience, Product and Service Management), or build a custom career track.
The program culminates with the Capstone, a three-day live-case competition, where students present solutions to real business problems to CEOs and business leaders, often being invited to present in head offices.
UBC Sauder is consistently ranked among the top 100 business schools by organizations such as the Financial Times and The Economist. The MBA program was indexed as the 16th best in North America in the 2015 QS Global 200 Business Schools Report. In 2015, the Financial Times ranked the MBA ranked second among Canadian business schools and in the top 5% of MBA programs worldwide; UBC Sauder was also ranked #1 in North America for “international mobility”, #1 in North America for "international faculty", and #5 in North American for International Students. The UBC MBA program has also been recognized in the Corporate Knights 2014 Global Green MBA Survey as 2nd in the world for its efforts to integrate sustainability into business education and was listed 23rd by Forbes in its top global business schools report.
