Global perspective
At McGill, we pride ourselves on the global quality of our education. Today's graduate-level management education must position itself in the world economy, and we have been featured in surveys by the Financial Times, Le Figaro, Business Week, America Economia and Canadian Business.
At the same time, the McGill MBA is among the most 'international' MBA programs, with nearly half of our students coming to us from abroad. The MBA Japan Program continues this tradition of internationalism in Tokyo, described by William Gibson as “the global imagination’s default setting for the future.”
