Celebrating 100 Years of Leadership.

As the School celebrates its Centennial we’ve challenged ourselves to look forward to the next 100 years of business leadership. With thousands of Ivey staff, faculty, alumni and students coming together at dozens of celebratory events – it was a banner year for the School. 

Whether it was accepting a historic 30-million dollar gift from the generous Donald K. Johnson, making momentous progress on our strategic plan, or advancing research on our critical issues, it was a year to move forward.

Here’s a glance at our impact in 2023.

Our HBA Program attracts the best and brightest students who bring diverse academic and leadership experiences to the program. With the Ivey Leadership Essentials that sets them apart in their careers and the 2+2 Program Structure that allows students to explore their academic interests, they have unlimited opportunities for success.

Our MSc Program builds on undergraduate experiences through three unique streams – an International Business stream to build cross-cultural aptitude for leading in an international environment, a Business Analytics stream focused on developing data-driven business decision-making skills, and the Digital Management stream that trains leaders to understand the role of technology in contemporary management.

Our streamlined one-year MBA offers an intense and integrated program focused on career success. That’s why it is known as the #1 MBA programs in Canada for eight years running*.

Our 14-month, while-you-work, blended learning Accelerated MBA (AMBA) prepares working professionals for the next stage of their career.

Our EMBA Program attracts highly successful and experienced leaders across industries and professional backgrounds. In 2023, the EMBA continued to provide real-world business experiences both inside and outside the classroom. 

Our PhD Program in Business Administration is a full-time research-based program designed to develop scholars and to place graduates at high quality research universities around the world. Ivey PhDs are showcased at conferences around the world, and regularly featured in top-tier academic and industry publications.

Located at Spencer Leadership Centre, The Ivey Academy offers a complete suite of programs to boost organizational performance.

Our faculty members continue to make their mark in research, the classroom, and the boardroom. They are a major influence on the development of future leaders and in the creation of new knowledge.

Our alumni continue to give back to the School in many ways – both in the classroom and out in the world as trusted mentors and advisors. The Ivey Alumni Network (IAN) lives up to its reputation as a thriving worldwide community of business professionals and grew in 2023 to continue to support its mandate of advancing Ivey’s agenda by providing alumni with continuous, relevant, high quality opportunities to connect, engage, contribute and advance, fostering connection to Ivey and support for the School.

New additions included and Alumni Connections pillar, focused on programming for personal and profession advancement; both BIPOC and Pride groups under the EDI pillar, and launching two Alumni Communities (shared interest groups) focused on Sustainability and Pride.
