This fall semester will be unlike any other at the Haskayne School of Business. We’re delivering our courses – 85 per cent of them overall – via online learning and it’s going to be different than what you had long anticipated. Physical distancing. Online group work. Classes held remotely.

But what hasn’t changed at Haskayne is our commitment to excellent student experiences and that begins with knowing where to turn for the latest information. We’ve gathered everything you need to answer some of the questions you might still have.  As a student, you’ll find the specific information about each course delivery method here or in D2L.

For the Fall 2020 semester at Haskayne:

  • Approximately 96 per cent of our BComm courses will be online.
  • For graduate studies, 65 per cent will be web-based
    • The Master of Management will begin entirely online.
    • For the MBA program, 92 per cent of courses are online
    • The Executive MBA program will be in-person.
    • Our doctoral programs, the DBA and PhD, are online for the fall semester.

“The most important priority for students and faculty – and all who support or are engaged in your education – is to fully commit to providing the highest quality education,” said Haskayne Dean Jim Dewald. “This works best when everyone is actively engaged. When possible, keep your camera on, ask questions and participate just as much you would in person. Let’s build your future together.”
